The Master of Architecture, the first professional degree offered by the Department of Architecture, is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The degree program requires two to three years of graduate study, depending on the applicant's previous academic background and qualifications. It offers a wide range of courses, with particular strengths in the areas of architectural design and integrated practice, ecological/sustainable design, digital design and fabrication, preservation, urban design, and design as a response to the physical, cultural, and social environment.
The Master of Architecture curriculum emphasizes design studio courses. Each of these studios is taught by faculty members who also offer courses in selective subjects.
A study abroad program allows students to combine international travel and study under the tutelage of a departmental faculty member for program credit. The location of the program may vary from year to year. Additional costs of travel, lodging, etc., must be borne by the student.
In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. NAAB, which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. Accreditation of architectural programs takes place on a cycle that may range from every few years to as many as eight years.
Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Department of Architecture, offers the following NAAB-accredited degree programs:
MArch (pre-professional degree + 60 graduate credits)
MArch (non-pre-professional degree + 90 credits)
Master of Science in Architecture (MS)
This 30-credit non-professional degree program is appropriate for students who want to develop a personalized and specialized program of architectural studies centered on scholarly studies and research. Graduates will bring specialized knowledge to diverse professional settings that involve collaboration, interaction and communication with other professionals. Students propose their own course of study, to be reviewed and approved by faculty in accordance with the program requirements. Students may use the degree to explore their chosen field of research prior to continuation with PhD studies or, if they are mid-career professionals, may shape or extend their expertise in a particular field relevant to their area of practice.
PhD Program
The PhD Program in Architecture is a community of scholars, practitioners, activists, and educators who are committed to advancing the discipline and practice of architecture. Situated within a professional school of architecture, the program is both curiosity-driven and action-oriented. The faculty and students at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning seek to advance architectural discourse and knowledge at multiple levels of inquiry. They embrace intellectual inclusiveness and critical examinations of society, culture, ecology and technology, while pursuing questions related to architectural history, theory, and criticism, human experience, social justice, and environmental advocacy.
MArch/MUP Program
In cooperation with the Department of Urban Planning, the Department of Architecture offers a Master of Architecture/Master of Urban Planning program that prepares students for careers requiring preparation in both fields. Both the MArch and MUP degrees are awarded simultaneously upon completion of this program. For more detailed information on this program see Credits and Courses section below.

Look back at 2013
This year, Khan Academy continued to dominate my time, becoming a full time (ish) project, while I gave up science and neglected my Chinese and this website.
Khan Academy
This year, for the first time I had one of my exercises accepted and put on the Khan Academy website, which has been my goal for the last couple of years. In fact this year I had over 30 exercises accepted and several of my programs made official, because in March, they offered me a job as a content creator. This was after I went out to visit them in Mountain View, which was an amazing experience and made all the time I'd spent on the site seem quite well-spent. Working for Khan Academy has continued to be amazing, in particular, writing simulations for a set of NASA tutorial (to be launched soon).
To top it all, I finally got the Tesla Black Hole badge right at the end of the year as I got 10 million energy points. Maybe now I will spend less time doing exercises and more time making them, but it will be a hard habit to break.
This year my postdoc in Plymouth ended and started work full time working remotely as some sort of freelance programmer. I moved back to Oxford, in a sweet little village with Victoria and started my dream job in July, just missing her birthday.
Having quit science, I then had two papers published, doubling my output. My postdoc work was published in Current Biology, and some work I helped up with during my PhD was published in Protist.
As with all previous years, the number of visitors and page views to this blog have increased, but for the first time, the growth didn't exceed my expectations. Maybe my expectations have become too high or maybe I didn't update this blog as much, spending more time on other websites (see below) or Khan Academy. It still managed to get twice the visitors as last year, with my post on Black Hole badges accounting for 62,845.
It's surprising that there has been any increase in visitors to my site at all given that I have updated it so rarely this year. Hopefully I can write a few more blog posts this year, but I suspect it's unlikely. I think I will gradually move by projects to my appspot site (see below).
One of the reasons for my writing fewer blog posts this year is because I have been concentrating more on my other website, using appspot. This has my SVG optimiser as well as an SVG editor and 3D graphics tutorial I worked on this year (the latter replacing the 3D graphics tutorial on this site). I only add analytics in February of this year, but the site has slowly been gaining visitors. By contrast, visitors to my WhatBadgeNext site have been fairly steady.
With most of my focus on Khan Academy, I didn't have much time for StackOverflow this year. I still managed to rack up a few points though, mainly from old questions and broke the 3000 point mark. And I finally got the bronze SVG badge for having 100 SVG votes. I also noticed that I was the top-user in the obscure topic of coordinate-transformation. If I could get a badge for that, it would be quite amazing.
For the second time, I was offered paid work via StackOverflow, only this time it was for a lot more and maybe become a more permanent work arrangement.
Aims for 2014
I suspect this year will be a busy one with a lot of changes, but there's still a few projects I'd like to work on. Firstly, I'm hoping to do a 365 - take a photo every day and upload it to Flickr, maybe with a new camera. I did try to start one earlier this year but it ended shortly after I moved house. I also hope to finally finish a bioinformatics project I've been working on for nearly four years. I should probably try to resume my Chinese study. And finally, I would like to do lots more of the same - many simulations, explorations and games on Khan Academy, and maybe blog about a few if I get a chance.
I just want to thank you for all the simulations and exercises you have created for Khanacademy users over the past year. I have gotten hours of enjoyment from them. I just don't know where you find all the time. I also use your whatbadgenext site all the time to find out which new videos have been created. I was wondering if you had considered making videos for the Khan site; using your expertise in biology. I would really enjoy seeing your perspective in that area. Congratulatios on your Tesla badge. I wish I had one tenth of the brainpower you have. Have a great year and I look forward to seeing more of your creations.
Hi Ray,
I'm not sure if you'll read this, but thanks for the comment. It's nice to know that other people have had fun with my programs. As far as I know, you have the most points of anyone on Khan Academy, so you must being doing pretty well in the brain power department. I'm very shy and a terrible speaker, so I doubt I will ever make videos for Khan Academy. Hopefully one day I can help add content to the biology section and failing that write some more tutorial on this blog.
Hi Peter. I just started going through the KA programming lessons earlier this week and I keep bumping into your excellent work everywhere. I've barely done anything on the science section of Khan Academy (yet) but your programs will have me checking it out soon!
As I get my programming chops back up to where they used to be and learn JavaScript, I'm creating some educational programs and resources. Your programs continue to be a huge inspiration to me. I hope to find some of my works on KA in a formal sense as well some day, and every time I see one of your programs I remember that it's possible.
Thanks again for everything you do for the KA community!

Our playground consists in a set of nonlinear Kuramoto's oscillators, not necessarily identical, which are linearly coupled one with each other through a network of connections.
The connections are weighted and directed such that between two coupled oscillators exists the notion of leader and follower, of master and slave.
Among the numerous dynamical regimes, we focus on the synchronized solution which is characterized by a locking in phase of all the non-linear oscillators. We investigate the dynamical and structural stability of this synchronized behavior and especially, we study the way the geometry of the connection network influences its stability.
In the framework of this model, we can then compare democratic and pyramidal organizations and explain why the latter, although less stable, may persists from an evolutionist point of view.

Click on the links below to navigate to a specific section of our FAQ page.
Getting a new natural gas service is relatively simple. The process begins by contacting a heating/cooling contractor to supply and install a natural gas heating system, or converting your existing system. The contractor will order your new gas service from Union Gas, but they must have signed a contract with you prior to submitting the order. The service request must come from your contractor. Find a contractor who will ensure the entire process is simple for you. For a list of qualified heating/cooling contractors in your area, visit the HRAI website or check your local yellow pages or visit our site: Converting your Home to Natural Gas.
Once the service has been requested, you may be required to meet with our installer to:
If you are purchasing a home without natural gas, and you plan to convert, you must wait until you are in possession of the property before a new natural gas service can be installed. Then you can contact an HVAC contractor to guide you through the connection process.
Under normal circumstances, there is no charge to run a natural gas line to your home. Additional charges may apply if the length of the gas service between your front property line or the gas main (whichever is closer) and your gas meter is further than 30 metres.
Natural gas service and gas meter installation on new residential construction generally takes approximately six weeks from the date we receive your application, or six weeks from the foundation date
For all types of installation requests, the length of time to install your service may be impacted by unusual construction conditions, permit requirements, or if you are in a "remote location".
Residential conversion service requests will take approximately seven to eight weeks for installation. This date may be impacted by the customer's availability to meet with the installer to identify private underground services on the property (septic, oil/propane tanks, buried electrical lines, etc.), and availability to provide access to the home to allow the installer to identify the depth and the location of the sewer services. We recommend that you do not remove your existing heating equipment until your gas service is installed.
Commercial/industrial service requests will take longer due to the special meter component equipment required, as well as permits and design approvals.
As we strive to meet these service level expectations, please recognize the fall is the busiest season for us and, at times, service levels may be impacted as a result.
In certain situations, unexpected delays may be experienced. Possible reasons may include:
Unusual construction conditions refer to things like multiple lane road crossings, and railroads crossing that require special permits. Examples also include: higher gas main pressures requiring special safety connection components, continuous bedrock, or locates and permits from municipalities. A site visit may be required by our staff, and we will advise you accordingly.
Union Gas has determined there are areas in our franchise that fall outside our main construction centres. When you apply for a service in an area considered to be "remote" you will receive an e-mail to advise you. Find out if your service request is located in a remote location.
Ontario Regulation 212/01 of the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000 requires an inspection of all appliances installed at the time of occupancy before they are put into use and for all premises that are supplied with natural gas for the first time.
The implications can be serious. In the case of a newly built building (residential or commercial/industrial) if the building is occupied, the builder and/or the occupant will be issued an infraction and will have 49 days to schedule and complete the initial inspection. If the initial inspection is not completed in that timeframe, the gas meter will be shut off and the building will be without natural gas.
Union Gas has a replacement service agreement which applies when a residential service is abandoned and replaced with a new service on the property. Union Gas completes a full or partial abandonment at no charge, to make safe for demolition and construction work. Cost recovery for replacement services is applicable for all lots previously serviced by Union Gas. The replacement service will be installed at a rate of $80 per metre plus $210 for the meter and initial inspection work, plus tax. Charges will be applied based on length of service installed from the property line or the connection point (if inside the property line) to meter location.
Submit your service request via our online attachment tool - GetConnected.
Under normal construction conditions, installation of your gas service will typically require 6 weeks from request to installation.
Union Gas and our pipeline contractors usually complete lawn or property restoration in the Spring for work done in the previous Fall/Winter construction period. If the restoration has not been completed beyond the Spring time frame, you may inquire with Union Gas by e-mailing us for new service lawn/property restoration.
General questions regarding your gas bill can be found on these sites: myaccount and bills & payments

Apple redesigned the lock screen and home screen in iOS 7, adding two new types of wallpapers — parallax and dynamic. Dynamic wallpapers add subtle animations to your iOS device, but as of now you can only use a select set of wallpapers provided by Apple.
You can, however, use your own, custom wallpapers for the 3D parallax effect, which lets you look at what's "behind" your home screen icons when you tilt your iOS device. For the best results you'll need to use wallpapers of a certain size depending on your device, and we've included some good ones in this post below.
As we noted earlier, for the iPhone 5, and iPod touch 5 the wallpaper needs to be 1536×1040 to work best with the parallax effect.
With that said, here are some great parallax wallpapers for your iPhone:
Long tap on any of these wallpapers on your iOS device, and tap on "Save Image" to save it to your photo library. You can then set the image as your wallpaper from Settings > Wallpapers and Brightness > Choose Wallpaper.
For more such wallpapers, head over to parallaxize.com, a website dedicated to parallax wallpapers. You can also install Deko, an app that lets you generate colorful, abstract pattern-based wallpapers. The app was recently updated to make "pixel-perfect parallax wallpapers for iOS 7."
Share with us your favorite iOS 7 parallax wallpapers in the comments below.[via TNW, parallaxize]

Every day that I use this new Edge Dev version 188.8.131.52 (Official build) dev (64-bit) the more I get impressed at its response rate.
Opening Facebook and having 6 other tabs open that are linked to facebook, while watching and responding within a live video feed within FB, having twitter open, windows mail, Edge classic open and NOT a slow down anywhere. No Lag, nothing..... I am super impressed with Edge Dev..... and the only extension I have loaded is Adblock. And the Browser Task Manager is a GREAT added plus.... No more having to close the browser down because of some over long running script....
Kudos to the team.. so far so good.... Waiting to see how the rate of response holds up with new versions coming up......
The Edge team has done a remarkable job so far, adapting the Chromium/Blick/V8 base to Edge UI/functions/features.
The initial release (Dev 220.127.116.11 in my case) is so solid, stable and functional that I've adopted Edge Chromium as my primary browser on all my Windows computers, and intend to stick with that though the development process, absent something unexpected.
We are very early in the development cycle, and as the Edge team builds on the initial release, adding features/functions from Edge Classic to the mix and developing new features/functions not now in Edge Classic, I expect that we'll see problems cropping up (I've read, for example, that one of this week's Canary builds created crashing issues, resolved in the next daily build). That's to be expected and doesn't bother me, although I'll be staying out of the Canary Channel because I want a reasonable level of stability given that I'm using Edge Chromium as my primary browser.
I don't have the ability to do performance metrics, but so far the browser seems very fast and performs well on all three of my Windows computers, a i7 desktop, an i5 laptop and a netbook-level A9-9420e laptop. My only concern is relatively high resource use and attendant battery run-down. Chromium (and Chrome) are notorious in that regard and I expect that MS will tune Edge Chromium over time to bring Edge Chromium more in line with Edge Classic in that regard.
I'm with you, though. The deeper I get into Edge Chromium, the better I like it.
@Dennis5mile "I would really love it if they would give the user the option to disable all/any feature/function that they do not use or want. Some things you can't as of now, because it is part of the browser, but it would be nice if they changed that and gave us more control ... I'm all for a faster browser that is not bogged down with all the bells and whistles ..."
You and me both, and ditto for W10 itself -- every time I do a fresh install of W10, I have to slog around removing stuff I don't use, some of which is downright dangerous (IE, legacy NET, SMB 1.0, and so on), take the bloatware out (does anyone actually want Candy Crush?), and strip out most of the performance-killing visual effects and other "features" that bog the system down. It is just crazy.
I'd like to see operating systems, browsers and other software be built on a Core-plus model, where the core was installed, and users added on functions/features as needed or desired. I think that comes under the category of "Yeah, you wish ..."

Do you get impatient when you have to wait in line at the bank or sit for an extra hour at the doctor's office? Instead of getting frustrated with wait time, put that time to good use. As you look over your daily to-do list, identify places that you are likely to have to wait and start to use waiting time productively.
This post may contain affiliate links for your convenience. Please read my disclosure policy here.
How to Use Waiting Time Productively
We all have to wait at some point in life. Sometimes it's for a meeting to start or for the next business phone call. But those little chunks of waiting time have the ability to really increase your productivity.
Having a planner is a great way to be productive in small time increments. There's almost always more planning that needs to happen and whether it's digital or an old fashioned pen and paper type, you'll sure to feel better about your waiting time when you keep it handy.
Keep something in your car or briefcase that you would enjoy doing while waiting. Perhaps it's catching up on popular magazines or business journals.
For even more ways to be successful, learn the top 10 habits you should have as an entrepreneur. Click the image below to get your FREE copy of Your Path to Making Millions!
Here are ten ways to use waiting time productively and make the time pass faster:
- Read a motivational book that will change your mindset in ways that will empower you to reach new goals.
- Scan the directions to a building project or clothing pattern and get the process firmly in mind before you start to cut.
- Bring a pile of coupon pages collected from several weeks of newspapers. As you clip the coupons, add in the proper tab of a coupon file.
- Plan what you need for a birthday party, barbeque or other social event that you are hosting or coordinating.
- Review ideas for increasing productivity in a small area of your business.
- Brainstorm the next big project. Come up with some questions to ask your planning team.
- Look at your family's calendar and plan time together.
- Download a podcast onto your Mp3 player. Instead of just music, choose a podcast topic that you want to learn about and listen to it with ear-buds.
- Use your day planner to make a to-do list for next week.
- Just be! Enjoy the place you are in in life today!
Bring your own "on hold" activities so that wait time becomes productive and seems to go by faster.

I have had so many cravings for a delicious pudding and after several attempts, I finally nailed down this keto pudding coconut cloud flavoured with hazelnut. It's very simple to make and super delicious and fun to eat. I like to call this dessert Better Nut Then Never.
Check out I Hacked Diabetes fav products on Amazon.
As a diabetic it's not easy to find amazing desserts that don't spike your blood sugar and this is why I have resorted to creating my own recipes. I'd much rather create and test what works best for me than to take risks with food I did not make. Of course you want to use sweeteners that work best for you, so definitely switch up the sweetener if erythritol isnt something you can tolerate.
Nutrition: Per serving (recipe yields 2 servings) Calories: 383 Fat: 39g Protein: 5g Carbs: 5.4 Fibre: 1.4 Net Carbs: 4.4g
Keto Pudding Recipe:
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup of Ground hazelnuts
- 2 tbsp of Toasted coconut flakes | I Use This!
- 2 oz of Cream cheese
- 1/4 tsp of Vanilla extract | I Use This!
- 1/4 tsp of Hazelnut extract
- 1 tbsp of Powdered erythritol | I Use This!
- 1/4 tsp of Cacao powder | I Use This!
- Whip the cream and add some vanilla and erythritol
- In a mixer bring together the cream cheese, cacao powder, erythritol and hazelnut extract
- Layer everything together in your favourite glass or mug
- I started with the nuts in the bottom and finished it with the coconut flakes on top.
Play with variations of this pudding. Feel free to switch it up and add or remove ingredients. I love cinnamon so I might switch up the coconut flakes and top it with cinnamon. Sometimes instead of hazelnut I mix in some peppermint extract and make it a chocolate mint pudding. So many options, play around with your favourite flavours and make this pudding your best friend.

Project Description
It's been said that there are two ingredients in the making of wine, grapes and the winemaker. While Waugh Cellars surely has the first, the wine would be nothing without the second. However, calling Ryan Waugh simply a winemaker would not do justice to all the work he does. Better to call him a brand ambassador.
At 39, with fifteen vintages already behind him, Ryan is one of the youngest winemakers working in Napa and Sonoma. Born and raised in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, he graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in Biology and minors in Marketing and Environmental Studies. While at Santa Clara, a friend's father shared a special bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, which sparked an intense passion for wine and inspired the idea to start his own winery.
That inspiration led him to find a wine job, any wine job close to school. He found it at Savannah Chanelle winery in the Santa Cruz mountains, where he began working with Michael McNeill. Under Michael's guidance, Ryan learned that winemaking begins in the vineyard, showing great care to the vines during the growing season. This allows for minimal interaction once the wine gets to barrel, creating wines that are true representations of their varietal and exhibiting unique flavors and great structural depth.
In 2001 he founded Waugh Cellars, which produces 3,500 cases of award winning wine annually. Current varietals produced include Russian River Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Dry Creek Zinfandel, Santa Barbara Riesling, Cabernet Franc and a Meritage.
A second wine brand, Six Degrees was released in 2008 with new vintages arriving via an allocation only mailing list each January.
Ryan and his wife Crystal run the family business and hope that one day their 2 sons Jordan and Carter will want to take over the reins of Waugh Family Wines!

TULO LOVES THE SPRINGS: Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki homered for the second time in as many games with the Sky Sox this season with his game-tying solo shot in yesterday's loss, and in his five at-bats in Colorado Springs this year he has reached base in four (good for an OPS of 2.800 this season for the Sox). Since his first appearance with the Sky Sox in 2008, Tulowitzki has scored a run in five of the six games he has played in Colorado Springs and has a batting average of .500 (8-for-16) with 4 RBI.
SOX STRIKEOUT HISTORY: With Rob Scahill striking out eight River Cats in last night's loss, the 2012 Sky Sox have now set a new franchise record for team strikeouts in a season with 1,049 on the year. Scahill continues to add to his own personal single season record for the Sky Sox, and became the first player in team history to top 150 strikeouts in a season with his 151 punch-outs this year. The Sky Sox rank fourth in the PCL with their strikeout total, while Sacramento became the first team in the PCL to reach 1,100 strikeouts with their five last night.
CULBERSON CONTINUES HOT STREAK: Sky Sox second baseman Charlie Culberson had two hits in last night's loss, extending his team-high hitting streak to 11 games (tied with DJ LeMahieu for the fourth longest hitting streak by a Sky Sox player this season). In his 25 games with the Sky Sox this season, Culberson has reached base in 22 games, and his 31 hits in the month of August for the Sox rank second on the team behind Tim Wheeler's 33 hits. Culberson has 32 hits since joining the Sox, after only having 14 hits in his final 24 games with the Fresno Grizzlies.
RARE LOSS FOR THE SOX: Last night's ninth inning rally by the River Cats handed the Sky Sox only their second loss of the season when leading after the eighth inning, and only their second home loss this season when leading after the seventh inning. The Sky Sox came in to the game last night with a record of 54-9 when holding their opponent to four runs or less, and it was the first loss for the Sox this year against Sacramento when holding the R-Cats to less than five runs.

The holidays are fast approaching. They will be here faster than you can put away your Halloween costume. And holidays mean that it will once again be time for holiday travel. Travel always has the potential to be a stressful affair regardless of where one lives or the time of year. However, there are a few things that Detroiters can do to make holiday travel a tad less frustrating. Not all of these suggestions will work for everyone or every trip. However, everyone should find at least one tip here that makes their next trip more enjoyable.
1. Take Advantage of Your Phone
These days, there is an app for just about everything. One of the best travel-related apps is one from Ann Arbor-based Mobiata, which tracks your flight information in real time on an iPhone or Android. It will keep you updated on flight delays and any other problems so that you can plan accordingly. More details about this app are available on CBS Detroit here.

2. Explore Other Airports
Metro airport connects Detroit with the world. However, it's not the only commercial airport that is nearby. Bishop International Airport in Flint only serves a handful of destinations. Travelers going to one of those cities, though, will enjoy the fact that this smaller airport is much less congested. The airport is serviced by Air Tran, American, Delta and United Airlines. As an added bonus, flights to and from Bishop Airport in Flint tend to be cheaper than those to and from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It's great when something makes your life easier and costs less money.
3. Learn to Travel With Kids
Being a parent changes everything about your life and travelling is no different. Going on a long trip with young children can add layers of stress to an event that was already frustrating. Thankfully, there are several things that parents can do to make travelling with children a more enjoyable experience. CBS Detroit has more details about that here.
4. Take the Bus
This is one suggestion that certainly doesn't work for everyone or for every trip. However, for those who live downriver or in much of western Wayne County and are only carrying one or two bags with them (say those going on a shorter trip), getting to the Detroit Metro Airport can be a lot less stressful by bus than driving and dealing with airport parking. Travelers can find the SMART Bus trip planner available online here. Simply enter your starting destination and when you need to be at the airport. The system will tell you everything that you need to know from there.
5. Car Service
There is definitely something to be said for leaving the driving to a professional. While it usually costs more than long-term parking at the airport, a car service can deliver you straight to the curbside at Metro and with far fewer hassles than driving yourself. Metro Cars has uniformed drivers in sedans, SUVs and vans ready to transport you. More information about this service is available here.

In 2007 I started art thru a lens as a way of sharing my journey from brush to celluloid.
Over the last decade I have been asked by friends, companies and strangers to reproduce my work, for everything from wedding gifts, stationery backdrops to cafe decorations and showroom ambience pieces.
Having reached a confidence in my own creative vision and ability I am now stepping out of the comfort of anonymity and am taking my first tentative steps into the world of commissioned work.
art thru a lens is not a media company nor another faceless high street franchise. We are committed to bringing this brave new world of digital photography to our clients with the same care that Henri Cartier-Bresson handled those fragile negatives so many years ago.
Your creative vision is our most important concern, as an artist it is my role not to dictate or control my patrons, but to bring your imagination into being, to help you create that singular piece of serenity, a moment of calm in this modern hectic world.
If you would like to share a pot of tea or perhaps a glass of red to create your vision I would love to hear from you.
Created to be a memory……..taken to last a lifetime.

"Nobody will pay a $15,000 premium for a car competing with a Corolla," said Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen. "There are not enough idiots who will buy it." Really? Put your money where your mouth is, Johan.
De Nysschen was speaking to MSN Autos about his frustration things were swinging in the favor of gasoline/electric hybrids over clean diesel technology. He believes consumers have been "hoodwinked" into thinking hybrids are the only answer to eco-friendly cars.
He described the Chevy Volt as "A car for idiots," before adding sarcastically, "They're for the intellectual elite who want to show what enlightened souls they are."
De Nysscen argues that clean diesel could have an immediate impact on national carbon emissions and the overall amount of fuel used, where, in contrast, Hybrids and electrics won't have a demonstrable impact on either for many years to come.
So, Mr. de Nysschen, why can't American consumers buy an A4 with a turbo-diesel and a manual transmission? [via MSN]

Music is a constantly evolving animal. How we make music, and make it our own, has changed through history, and that means that throughout that history there were moments that changed the face of music irrevocably. The advent of the stompbox was one of those moments.In this article, we will dig down what is a stompbox & how to make or use it.
What is a Stompbox?
If by now you are wondering "What is a stompbox?",look no further.
The stompbox, or effects pedal is a technological device used and embraced by musicians all around the world, which alters the sound of their instrument, resulting in a customized and identifiable tone or style.
The popularity of the stompbox alone tells us something about the increasing emphasis on the use of effects as a means for musicians to create their unique sound, style, and tone.
Although most commonly used on electric guitars, the effects pedal has also found it's way to orchestral instruments, such as the violin, viola, and cello.
Although most commonly used on electric guitars, the effects pedal has also found it's way to orchestral instruments, such as the violin, viola, and cello.
Initially put to use in military technology, then medical and business technologies, by the early 1960's the transistor found it's way into the music world.
Today, there have been further advances in the music industry, resulting in a variety of digital resources for creating effects and manipulations.
However, the stompbox has remained one of the most favored tools utilized by musicians.
How To Make a Stomp Box
A quick Google search of "How to make a stomp box" will quickly turn out thousands of results, all giving slightly different directions. That is because no two stomp boxes are the same.
Because the purpose of a stomp box is to create unique effects, signatures, styles and tones, they are often designed with specific effects in mind, usually corresponding with the musicians genre choice.
But let us run through the basics.
Also Read : Create Hip Hop Rap
The basic stomp box consists of the following:
- Pedal board: This is essentially the container for your stomp box, usually a simple panel or flat board. These can be bought or made in a number of DIY fashions.
- Pedal(s): A stomp box may have several pedals for various effects. The pedals you choose will depend on the type of music you want to play.
A few examples of pedals are: Wah-wah, delay, flanger, fuzz, distortion, tremolo, and chorus.Traditionally the stomp box is used to create the aforementioned effects. But they can also control several basic functions of your instrument such as volume, and equalization. so may also have pedals for those.
- Tuner: This is used to keep your instrument in tune, and is considered very helpful.
- Input jacks: This is where you will connect your instrument.
- Output jacks: This is where you will connect the stomp box to your amp.
- Switches and/or buttons: These will be used to either activate or deactivate effects.
- Knobs, buttons, and sliders: These will control and fine tune your various effects.
Stomp boxes are as varied as the musicians that make them, and easily customized. However, building your own stomp box isn't for everyone. And there are many trusted brands which specialize in the industry, such as Pedaltrain, Behringer, Gator and SKB.
How to Use a Stompbox
- Power your stomp box: Most stomp boxes are fitted with two power sources: a 9-V batter, and an AC adapter.
- Plug the pedal in: This means plugging your instrument into the pedal, and the pedal into the amp.
- Turn on the amp: The amp should only be turned on after all of the cables are connected.
- Turn the pedal's knobs to their default positions: For most pedals this will mean turning knobs to 0.
- Individually adjust each knob and/or slider: Begin playing your instrument as you make adjustments to your various effects, until you are satisfied with the sound.
- Make changes between modulated and un modulated signals: Now satisfied with your effects, therefore you can make quick changes between tones with the foot pedal.
Now that we know all of this, let's get started and discover the art and science of the stompbox.

Hi, my name is Glenn.
"Hi, Glenn"!
I'm a blog-a-holic. And it's been 34 days since I Blogged. I'm so ashamed.
I could tell you how busy I've been (I've been busy!), how I've been focusing on other things (I've been focusing on other things), how life has thrown me a few curve balls (life has... you know) but in reality, I haven't been motivated for the longest time.
It's winter, coming into spring. You know, that time when the earth renews itself, when animals come out of hibernation, where the days start to get longer and warmer... SO WHEN'S THAT GOING TO START?
There are a few exceptions. This roadside rock formation gave birth
to an Ice sculpture with that blue colour one normally associates with
Truth be told, this is the ugliest time of year. That crisp, white snow is caked with mud; the trees are naked, the earth is brown. the melting ice on the roof is dripping down in the house. Yuk. But OK, we got through it! I went for a walk on a muddy country road without putting on gloves or a hat, I did shoot a few pictures, the creative juices are starting to flow again.
That said, I'm lying. Just a little. I have been doing some stuff over the past several weeks, not the least of which was to attend Hilarie's Pixel Painting Workshop 10 days ago, and, well, I've added another brush to my palette, another tool to my chest. Throughout the course I kept bemoaning the fact that I'm not an artist. Several people challenged me on that but I still think I'm not one. I did manage to create a couple of images that I like, here's one:
Mountain Man. Created by painting on top of an existing image,
using Photoshop and Corel Painter 11
The course was an eye opener. There are other things in life than sharp focus. And as I read somewhere and have said before, photography is all about what you put INTO the picture; painting is about what you leave OUT. So if you have a photo that would be great except for the background, then when you create it as a painting, DON'T INCLUDE THE BACKGROUND!
Anyway, I was out shooting a few pictures today, a different technique so I don't know how they're going to come out. I'll share them in the next Blog. For today, I'll add a couple of images I took a few weeks ago, of people ice fishing on 12 mile Lake.
Portable Ice Hut. It was really chilly out but nice and warm
inside, despite the fact that there was no floor.
It was already starting to thaw. In fact, most of the ice fishing huts had been brought in for the season. These guys were being quite careful how and where they walked.
Not this guy, though. He blithely drove his truck out on the ice, through foot-deep puddles of water. Apparently there was about two feet of ice thickness, even on a warm day like this one.
Allow me to leave you with one more image. I was asked to shoot some photos at Humber College, some detail shots of a new straight truck they had in their training program. While I was at it, I shot a 5-shot burst and created an HDR image. I shouldn't post it before I clean it up completely, but... here it is

There are times in life when friendships disappear and there are times in life when friendships reappear. There are also those times when out of nowhere a friendship appears that we were not expecting. If you are like me, you may not trust the ones who disappear, may be skeptical of the ones which reappear and overwhelmingly blessed by the ones that just seem to drop out of the dark and into the light or into the light and make it even brighter. I cannot begin to tell you from the recesses of my heart how disappointed I have been in people that I have expected would always be part of my life. I have learned that it is not that they are intentionally resisting my presence in their life as much as they are resisting what they may not understand or simply involved in their own lives and cannot or will not make time for things that take unnecessary effort. Whichever the scenario, I have grown less disappointed in those absences and more expectant of those who God will bring into my life. Let's face it, as we mature in this journey of life, we learn that life is a game of keeping up with life. The more we are called to manage, the more unmanageable we can feel our life is.
I have felt this way for years. I may have kept managing my friendships as a way of preserving my"self". The challenges that I faced and the way life pressed in caused me to desire to cling to anything familiar. Although maybe I am more inclined to stay in touch with those I care about because my life as a child was very lonely and who I wanted to be with most was elusive (my mom) and I learned through painful experience that I NEVER want to walk that road again.
As in love with my husband as I have always been and expectant of our life together, it was riddled with complications that forced loss accompanied by complicated gain. There is a verse that God has given my husband and I over and over and it is this: "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten--the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm--my great army that I sent among you." Joel 2:25.
I have written before about how I look at every challenging and painful experience as something that comes from the hand of God. Because I know this to be true...it is His way of setting us on His course, redirecting our path, often our hearts as well and calling us to a position of passion and purpose that we soemtimes can only dream of. Our comfort zones are not places of excitement, but security. How can we be moved when we are satisfied? How can we be used by Him when our purpose is to serve and maintain ourselves?
The friendships that I sought to preserve were comfortable for me as well. They resembled what I knew of myself. Letting go of who I was for who God wanted me to become was a process that took years to connect with and let go of, simultaneously. Through this process, one of the most disappointing realities was in who didn't remain. But just as in all the other areas of my life, I knew that God would make up for it. Suddenly it is happening. People are coming into our life that feel led to be involved and lead us into our next destinations of our journey through life as God is directing. My awareness of this is heightened as I believe He wants me to realize that HE is doing it. He is making up for what He has allowed that which has caused our family pain. This has become a source of excitement for me as God never does anything in a mediocre way. The friendships that are accompanying this process have satisfied me in a way I always desired, but failed to experience. Again I think of the verse above.
I write out of my pain. I think about many things I have experienced. I think constantly. But if life weren't hurling chaos I wouldn't have a reason to think. I even think I overthink :-) I also write as a result of my purpose: to encourage those who are walking through their own wilderness and wonder where God is. HE IS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU AND HE IS MORE THAN ABLE TO SATISFY YOUR SOUL AS WELL AS GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART! He does this when you surrender to the process and let go of what it is that you expected, and reach in to the reality that He "is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." Ephesians 3:20.
Don't restrict Him. Let Him have His way. He will always BE exceedingly more and DO exceedingly more than we could possibly conceive in our finite minds and it pleases Him to know we are waiting for Him and Him alone.

Accidents happen on a space station space. But when a body's head and hands go missing, that's when top investigator, Kyle Tanner rushes in to solve the heinous crime before more of the crew lose their heads. More detective mystery than sci-fi, Timothy S. Johnston's hero is the only one who can stop the villain before he or it destroys everything in The Furnace.
The year is 2401. Homicide investigator Kyle Tanner has seen his fair share of the galaxy's obscenities. Most notably he's responsible for the capture of its most infamous rogue, popularly dubbed the "Torcher," in a manhunt that propelled him into the cultural consciousness, though he couldn't care less. In fact, he's never felt more alone in the universe after his oversight led to the death of a fellow investigator, and the closest thing to a friend he has ever had.
But it's his former exploit that will forever mark his career, and ultimately what has him assigned to investigate SOLEX One, a space station collecting solar energy on the warmer side of Mercury. The case: Jimmy Chin, a crewman aboard SOLEX, killed outside the station when his vac-suit is mysteriously lacerated and decompression finishes the job. Not the grisliest of murders, but when the head and hands are removed from the body twelve hours later, the case falls within the realm of complication Tanner is known for untangling.
Now Tanner has fourteen remaining suspects aboard the station, any of whom could potentially be guilty of the crime. And though the rest of the crew widely consider Jimmy's death an accident and the tampering of the body a prank, albeit an odd one, Tanner doesn't share their sense of humor. He also knows something else: if there is indeed a murderer on the station, he'll have to work fast to find them, for their surroundings are far too claustrophobic and perilous for the potential victims, including himself, to rest easy.
Sure enough, the bodies begin piling up and Tanner's life is directly threatened. Were it the work of another maniac like /the Torcher, Tanner might be able to get his head around the situation. Only there's a secret that makes this case different than anything he's ever experienced, and with implications that reach far beyond an isolated space station. It soon becomes clear that any one of them would count themselves lucky to make it out alive.
With a premise that's virtually Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None meets John Carpenter's The Thing meets Danny Boyle's Sunshine, there's some cross-pollination that could appeal to enthusiasts of multiple genres. This is not a straight Sci-fi, and it isn't a straight mystery.
The author does face a challenge of blending a meaningful and entertaining story. Though there is plenty of intrigue piled into the first half of the book, the unwinding during the second half does take on a different pace. Some readers may find the technical aspects of the plot that point to plausibility a bit over complicated, lessening the tension and strength of the work. However, for those who crave Sci-fi/Thriller/Romance with the dial turned up to violent, this is your perfect read.
Don't lose your head – even if someone or something tries to take it! Timothy S. Johnston's The Furnace will have you checking your spacesuit for lacerations and keep you looking over your shoulder for what goes bump in outer space.

Please refer to the Find-Primes example before starting with this example.
First, define the CnC graph for the partition string example:
This graph is a little more interesting than the Find-Primes example since it has two Steps:
createSpan and
createSpan produces Items for the
span Item Collection. This in turn trigger the prescription of the
processSpan step which writes results to the
results Item Collection. The environment reads off these values from the
results Item Collection.
Next, run the CnC-Python translator:
Next, we need to provide the python implementations for the Steps using the generated templates (as explained in the Find-Primes example ). Note the implementation of the
createAwaitsList function in both the python Step classes which defines the input dependences on values from the Item Collections.
Running this program with an input of

Meson Offers to Acquire InfuSystem for $1.85-$2.00/Share
On July 17, 2013, Ryan J. Morris, the Executive Chairman of the Board of InfuSystem (NYSE: INFU), sent a letter on behalf of Meson LP to the Special Committee of the Board setting forth its good faith indication of interest to acquire InfuSystem for between $1.85 and $2.00 per Share in cash (the "Offer Price"), representing a 28% to 39% premium to the volume-weighted 30 day average closing price of the Shares prior to the May 13 letter setting forth Meson LP's initial indication of interest. Meson LP believes such a transaction represents the best means for shareholders to obtain liquidity for their Shares while maximizing the value of their Shares at a premium. In the letter, Meson LP stated its belief that InfuSystem's growth opportunities present material upside for InfuSystem; however, each of these opportunities is currently pre-revenue and will require significant investments of both time and capital. In addition, InfuSystem faces risks posed by CMS competitive bidding which is legally mandated to have a nation-wide penetration by January 1, 2016. Meson LP expressed its belief that the implied LTM valuation pro forma for: 1) full implementation of the cost reductions currently implemented and planned, 2) elimination of all public reporting costs, and 3) adjusting for the estimated price reductions related to CMS competitive bidding, suggest transaction multiples of approximately 7x EBITDA and 15x EBITDA-Capex. The Offer Price represents a significant premium to current trading levels and comps taking these implied valuation multiples into account. In addition, Meson LP stated its belief that it is not in the best interest of shareholders for InfuSystem to continue as a public company. Given the disproportionate burden of public company reporting (both financial and in terms of management resources), Meson LP believes it is optimal to face the coming reimbursement changes and the business risks associated therewith as a privately held corporation in order to eliminate the public company requirements as well as to afford InfuSystem greater financial flexibility in both the short term and the longer term.

How cutaways help in training employeesPosted on October 5th, 2015 No comments
Did you know cutaways are first-rate training tools that educate and empower your team?
Although modern technology and digital software help employees-in-training envision the internals of manufactured products, cutaways surpass digital tools because they are tangible and provide firsthand instruction.
Cutaways are real physical models that are great for employee training because they provide hands-on experience and help visualize how a product's internal components will look and fit together. Cutaways are especially useful to engineers and repair specialists since they show how the actual product parts will function. Cutaways promote tactile learning as employees are educated and proficient on the unique mechanisms and factors through physical models. The functionality of a product is real, visible and much easier to understand verses a digital visual since cutaways nicely showcase and demonstrate the internals of a product in a tangible and digestible way.
Below are examples of what cutaways can demonstrate and accomplish for a variety of products:
With valves, seeing the type of packing and quality of the seal are critical.
With electric motors, studying the fasteners is essential.
With engines, examining the pistons and crankshaft are crucial.
With transmissions, observing the strength and durability of the gear sets are vital.
With gearboxes, detecting the internal design of the gears is important.
With pumps, spotting the impeller design is key.
Let's take a look at how firefighters use cutaways. Firefighters learn about the internals of a fire hydrant or pump through fire hydrant and pump cutaways. By studying a hydrant or pump cutaway closely, firefighters increase their knowledge on the two most important tools they use on the job, develop a better understanding of how each product works, and strengthen their efficiency in the field.
Cutaways are unparalleled for employee training because they highlight some of the strongest human senses—sight and touch. Because people are visual beings, using cutaways as a teaching method increase knowledge and understanding in manufactured products and boost confidence in employees. Through cutaways, employees attain a vast amount of valuable information that is only possible to gain through physical prototypes. To view our work, check out our gallery of cutaways.

Hello. An AC that does blow cold air can be caused by many things. A few common causes are low refrigerant, a faulty pressure switch, or a bad compressor. The component responsible for blowing air is the blower motor, however, it is not responsible for making the air cold. The actual AC system that is mostly installed in the engine bay is what generates the cold air. If the refrigerant the system uses runs low, perhaps due to a leak, or the switch that activates the compressor fails, then the AC system will not work properly. I would start by verifying that the compressor is in fact coming on, and then test the pressure of the AC system to see if it may be low and in need of refrigerant. Keep in mind that if the system is in fact low, you will have to determine what caused it to run low in the first place. To have this checked, have a local expert, like one from YourMechanic, come to your home or office to diagnose the A/C system.

I love dressing up for themed parties, and luckily I had the perfect dress for the Hollywood themed birthday party this weekend. I couldn't be more pleased with the theme! Winged liner and red lips is one of my go to makeup looks for fine parties, and now I also had an excuse to spend those two hours it takes on curling my hair. The party had glamour, red carpet, bubbles, some drama, lots of wine and amazing food. We had a blast! There were lots of laughs and I have so many pictures. I'll share some later!
The dress, and my faux fur coat, is from BikBok. I bought the shoes when bae and I were in Manchester last year. They are from Primark. Bag and watch were both gifts, and they are Guess.
If you want to take a closer look at my makeup I made a post about it yesterday, here.

Super Organic Cotton Tampons with Applicator
100% certified organic cotton with cardboard applicator
Absorbent cotton tampons for medium menstrual flow days.
- Plastic-free
- No Perfume, Rayon or Dyes
- Totally Chlorine Free
- Biodegradable & compostable
- GMO Free, no dioxin or pesticide residues
Product details
Tampon: Certified organic cotton
Applicator: Biodegradable cardboard applicator and paper wrapper
Packaging: Recycled cardboard printed with vegetable-based ink
Absorbency: 9-12g
16 organic tampons per pack
Barcode: 0782126009005
What it's all about
Organic super tampons with a smooth easy-glide cardboard applicator, which is completely biodegradable. Just twist to release and push.
Most applicators are made from plastic or rigid bio-plastics. These commonly contain phthalates, which can be absorbed through the skin and cause hormone disruption. What's more is they don't biodegrade, contributing to worldwide plastic-pollution.
Many rayon-blend tampons have a plastic veil to prevent fibre-loss, and they can also have added perfume or dyes which is totally unnecessary for managing your period.
This is why we only ever use cardboard and organic cotton. We never use GM cotton or unnecessary plastic, so we keep your vagina free from pesticide residues, plastic or toxic residuals or rayon.
Available Worldwide
No matter where you are in the world, you can count on us for plastic free period products. Make the switch today!
Q: "Why use a cardboard applicator?"
Cardboard is the most eco-friendly applicator a tampon can have. Our applicator is entirely recyclable or compostable. Some companies have introduced "plant-based applicators" but these behave like plastic and do not biodegrade. These plastic applicators are often made with a higher renewable content than conventional plastic but behave in the same damaging way to the environment after use. Look for home compostable plant-based plastics to ensure it will break down safely.
Q: "How to use an applicator tampon?"
Some tampons come with an applicator to help insert a tampon. Natracare's are made with biodegradable cardboard. Twist the two applicator halves to make ready to push, then press the bottom half upwards to push the tampon out through the top of the applicator. Some people prefer applicator tampons as a simple, more hands-free way to use tampons.
Q: "Which absorbency should I choose?"
Always go for the lowest absorbency that you need. During your period, you may find you use different absorbencies because your flow is lighter at the beginning or end of your period.
Q: "How often should I change my tampon?"
It's important to change your tampons regularly, every 4-6 hours, and alternate between using tampons and pads. It is not recommended that you wear a tampon when you are sleeping because you will most likely be leaving it in too long. Read the instruction leaflet found in the tampon packs for how to use tampons safely to avoid risks associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).

Ordinary Time, 12th Sunday. Learning to play an instrument involves suffering, but it's worth it. Sin mostly happens when we try to avoid suffering, with the result that we cause ourselves more suffering. Jesus offers a better solution – take up our cross and embrace our suffering. It causes us to grow as human beings and to grow in love. It is also what it means to be a father. Happy Fathers Day! (20 Jun 2010)[from the archives]

Date: March 13th 2017
Venue: Sound Control, Manchester
Support: Jekyll / Critics
Website: www.vukovi.co.uk
Facebook: www.facebook.com/vukoviband
Twitter: www.twitter.com/vukoviband
Some say that timing is everything, and in the case of Scottish noisy pop-rockers Vukovi, that saying certainly holds some notable weight to it. Though the band certainly haven't been quiet over the years, dropping a couple of EPs and making a few tour support and festival appearances here and there, it's not until now with the release of their debut album that the quartet are standing up for everyone to take notice, and nothing celebrates that more than a headline tour.
Blackpool's Jekyll [7] are the local openers for the Manchester date of the run, and they certainly seem to have brought some of their hometown fans along with them in the first couple of rows. Their sound is reminiscent of early era Placebo venturing into Nine Black Alps-esque territory at times, and some Idlewild areas at others. Frontman Joel Foster's vocals soar, and with that alongside new guitarist Mike Spence rubbing up his guitar with a toy gun, Jekyll have potential at their core.
The tour's main support Critics [6], who come from several different parts of the country respectively, take the evening in a bit more of a pop direction. It takes a few songs for them to get into their stride, but once they do it's difficult to not tap you feet along with them. They're part Maximo Park, part Scouting With Girls, and part Scissor Sisters at times. Lynn Paighton's vocals get a little nasal at moments, but with highlights like 'All My Friends' and 'Key Lime Pie', it's obvious Critics have cracked the code of fun, we just need it to be a bit more frequent.
Rising stars-to-be Vukovi [9], however, sweep the show and claim what's rightfully theirs. Their debut album has only been out for three days, but already most of the crowd know pretty much every lyric that's being sung to them. 'La Di Da' is a crunchy alt rock hit, 'Bouncy Castle' is, as expected, incredibly bouncy, and 'Animal' easily stands as one of the strongest and captivating offerings in the band's arsenal.
Though the thumping rhythm section from bassist Jason Trotter and drummer Colin Irving provide the heartbeat to the band, and guitarist Hamish Reilly pumps in the adrenaline, it's vocalist Janine Shilstone that's making sure there's a bloodstream to move it all along. Shilstone's voice during the likes of the much more solemn moments of 'Prey' and 'He Wants Me Not' really shines through its full potential, and grabbing recording phones from the fans in the front row throughout the set, and focusing them directly on her not only gives their building fanbase more intimate footage, but also a direct connection.
By the time we reach the final moments of set closer 'Boy George', it's pretty clear that Vukovi haven't just got their sights on being one of the most exciting newbies to watch this year, but are also looking to grasp the crown amongst the genre elite who are several albums deep already. If their peers aren't careful, Vukovi will be nabbing it for themselves in no time.
