Like everybody else I started doing boards with the ol' iron. Some people are really good at it, I just got lazy, and I think a lot of people can relate to that. I then switched to doing the UV thing which worked great but has some flaws. Your stuck buying the special material until you want to attempt to apply the coat yourself. Then you gotta mix more chemicals yadda yadda yadda. I had always read about the laminator thing but always made excuses because jeese, something really couldn't be that easy! Then a birthday came up and family members asked me if I wanted something so I was like, fuck it, and gave em item numbers for the laminator, paper and foils. The laminator isn't cheap but it's money well spent. When I gotta do a board I don't go "ugh" anymore. Also, doing huge ass complicated boards is super easy and turns out 99.9% awesome every time. My biggest fear was switching to using a thinner fr4 because I used to using the super thick shit. The thinner stuff is actually way nicer to work with. You can cut it with a good pair of shears rather then needing a break or hacksaw. Etches easier. Way nicer on your drill bit. Oh yeah, also cheaper which is good. So here we go!
This method is question is here.
http://www.pcbfx.com/main_site/pages/di ... n_pcb.html
Here's what your gonna need...
* Copper Clad (I get mine from Ebay seller "amt33461", he's got a decent checkout system in his shop but I find it easier to just shoot him a message to order direct) I've also used stuff from Ebay seller "ABCFAB." Just make sure you get the right thickness and that's it 1/2oz.
Here are the specs on the stuff I use.
- Type: FR4
- Copper Cladding: 1/0 Singled Sided (1/2 oz)
- Thickness: 1/32" 0.031
* Laminator I got mine from Digikey. It's probably a good idea to get the one they recommend so avoid fuck ups.
* Chemicals These are what I like to use but I think everyone has their own preferences.
* Latex Gloves You want to keep them oily fingers from smearing the copper yo!!!!
* Bowl 'o' Water This is for throwing the copper in after lamination. The laminator activates a glue, the water releases it.
Alright, that's the stuff, now lets get er' dun!!!
Let's rock!
* Step One: Print your artwork to the TTP
I obviously didn't take a photo of me printing the stuff but there are some key things to remember when printing your artwork. You have to use the Pulsar branded Toner Transfer Paper. A 10 sheet pack is like 15 bucks, but you can do a lot of boards with 10 sheets. I'm pretty wasteful with the stuff but if you want to conserve you can do what you would do with the other stuff with the cutting a piece out to size and then taping it to the piece of paper before printing. One thing they'll mention on their site is this stuff hates Brother toner and they ain't fucking around when they say it. If you use a Brother printer the toner will not fuse to the copper and it prints to the paper like shit. Also set the resolution to the printer at the highest setting and set the toner density to it's darkest. Also if possible, choose the option to print BLACK. This sounds complicated but it really isn't. You could do this stuff at a copy shop like Kinkos or else just find a good black and white laser printer to use. My friend has a HP printer in their office at work I use. I swing by, hook my laptop up, print and go. I also prefer to use vector files because once you switch to this method, you get flawless transfers and you can't get any sharper than a vector image. If I'm serious enough about a pedal to make a board, I have no problem redrawing the layout in expresspcb to print it to adobepdf as a vector. I'm pretty compulsive though, gif's and those types of images will work fine. Once you figure out a printer source the rest is a breeze.
I used a pretty big design to show good this stuff works. The big board is for the 9V Electric Mistress. I never would of attempted it with an iron and I woulda been sketchy with the UV method as etching can pit pretty quick something like that. I used a different copper in these photos as well. I don't like the stuff nearly as much as the stuff I use now. Same size and all though so just pretend your looking at the good stuff!
* Step Two: Trim your copper down. The advantage of the cheaper copper is you don't need to salvage it nearly as much. I go pretty gracious on the initial trim. I go bout a 1/2 to 3/4 inch off the borders.
I use a shear break I got a good deal on at Harbor Freight. Another good tool to have around. Makes cutting this stuff super simple, also works great on trimming vero and other boards. Bends shit good too! With the thinner copper you can tin snips, heavy duty kitchen shears, some paper cutters (use your bosses, just don't tell em!) and I'm sure there's other stuff.
* Step Three: Trim your design off the TTP if you haven't already. Also, nows a good time to super clean the copper. I like to use a green kitchen scubbie with some Bar Keeper's Friend under the kitchen faucet. If the copper is real gnarly, I'll get out the Tarn-X. Just make sure she's clean so you get a good fuse. Wear gloves too!
Place the paper face down on the copper and feed er into the laminator. (You've had the laminator plugged in and warming up for 20 minutes and the go lights on right?) After it's first pass the paper will glue onto the copper. Don't try peeling it off at this point and you'll only screw up the paper. The toner doesn't fuse until it hits the water. The first time I did a board I didn't know about the water so I had a pretty shitty night! So after the first pass grab the copper by the sides and feed it through a few more times. I usually feed her through about 6 more times, rotating each time. It's probably over kill but I like to make sure she's got a good bond.
* Step Four: Bath time. As you can see I had to upgrade to a bigger dish!! After the last pass, simply take the board and drop her in some water and walk away. After a few minutes, come back the glue will have released from the copper and all the toner will be fused. Yes, seriously, all the toner. No smears, no monkey business.
After the bath your going to want to run it under a faucet for a minute or two to get all the glue off. Don't worry, that toners fused on there tighter than a stripper is fused onto a millionaire! Don't go scrubbin it with anything though. I'll make sure the waters turned up to full pressure just to be safe though. If any glue remains on it'll mess up the foil. Once rinsed, I simply pat with a paper towel and then push it face down onto a few more to make sure she's dry.
Bitchin! At this point you'll have a better transfer than you can get with a Iron or the UV method. If your doing a board with super thin traces, you'll be amazed to see that the traces are fully there. No more fucking around with a sharpie fillin in missed spots too! Once dry you can either move onto using the foil or you can go etch. She'll stand up to an etch the same, though she will be prone to pitting and such, the same as the other methods, which is why I go with the foil too. The purpose of fusing the foil to the toner is that it makes an etch resistant seal. When the board is foiled you can throw it into the etchant and take the dog for a walk without having to worry about the etchant eating into the toner. It also leaves full, super sharp traces that look, well, shiny and sexy!!! Like I said, the foils not a requirement. If your good at etching, you probably won't need it. For those of you who crave adventure, let's foil this way...
* Step Five: The green TRF. Fun stuff. Bout 9 bucks for a roll and the roll will last for boards and boards. Now this stuff can be tricky. This is the hardest step. The other steps are pretty hard to fuck up, this step I'm about 90 percent with. Basically you cut a piece big enough for the board but 2 inches longer. You then fold that two inches over so when you feed er in, she grabs. I cut the pieces wider than the boards in the pics which probably wasn't a good idea. You wanna go about dead even width wise. Once she's feed into the laminator, you want to pull the foil towards you and against the board to prevent wrinkles. Wrinkles aint the end of the world but the foil can't fuse where it wrinkles. I forgot to take pics of the larger board but I got pics of the smaller board I did.
Once out the laminator, set er down and let er cool off. I've heard that people feed it through a second time to make sure the foil fused but from my observations, it either does on the first shot or it doesn't. After a minute or two check er out. If you see a lot of wrinkles, you'll probably have to use another piece. Let's see how she turned out... no visible wrinkles so far...
As you can see she transferred pretty damn nicely. I'll get results like this on 9 out of 10 boards. It's normal for the foil to stick to some of the copper where there wasn't toner. You simply just take a pencil eraser and rub over those areas and the loose foil will rub off while the rest of the foil will stick to the toner. I read about that tip after I did these photos. Now if you had bad wrinkles and have open spots don't sweat it. You can leave it be or you can cut another piece and send it through the laminator again. If the spots are small that might be over kill. From here, we etch...
* shit, I hit my limit on photos, I'll make another post! Don't reply until I do!

Response of primary myoblast cultures isolated from Duchenne muscular dystrophy mouse models to inflammatory stimuli and inhibitors
Uaesoontrachon, Kitipong
Smith, Todd
Acadia University
Bachelor of Science
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of diseases that result in progressive muscle weakness. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive form of MD that results from the absence of the protein dystrophin. As a result, muscle fibre membranes are damaged upon contraction to the extent that the natural regenerative properties of muscle, normally provided by primary myoblasts, are exhausted. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible role that primary myoblasts play in muscle inflammation that is observed in DMD patients. Primary myoblasts were isolated from the new murine model of DMD, D2.B10-Dmdmdx (DBA/mdx), and a purification procedure was standardized based on the adherence properties of primary myoblasts. Cultures were treated with five inflammatory stimulating treatments: lipopolysaccharide (LPS), single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), Toll-like receptor (TLR)-7 agonist, TLR-8 agonist and TLR-9 agonist. Cultures were also treated with a commercially available inflammatory inhibitor, prednisolone, and Compound #1, which is under confidential agreement between the provider and AGADA Biosciences Inc. Using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), the expression level of inflammatory genes of interest was determined in primary myoblast cultures in response to the aforementioned stimuli. Results indicated that these cells not only possess TLR-7, TLR-8 and TLR-9, but also play a role in the inflammatory response. Additionally, inhibition of this inflammatory response was observed as a result of Compound #1 and prednisolone treatment. The identification of primary myoblasts being involved in the inflammatory response further develops our understanding of this complex response, and also offers a less expensive and more efficient in vitro option for pre-clinical drug trials for DMD.

(visited by Joseph Kerski, Emily Grace Kerski and Lilia Aubrey Kerski)
06-Sep-2004 -- With an area of 61,100 square kilometers, the Nebraska Sand Hills is one of North America's most fascinating ecosystems. Almost as amazing is that any confluence within this vast expanse is actually a manageable hike. It was a special treat for me, Joseph Kerski, as a geographer, to visit another Sand Hills confluence. I, together with my favorite confluence visitors, visited 42 North 102 West on what we celebrate in the USA as "Labor Day." Labor Day
recognizes the nation's workforce. Sand hill hiking was the kind of labor that I enjoy the most!
The confluence trek allowed us to travel on a road through some of the least sparsely populated areas in the continental USA--Nebraska State Highway 2--The Sand Hills Road. It is good to know that the wide open spaces really do still exist. We passed through a few towns on our trek that began at Mullen, but even the county seats of
government are usually unincorporated communities. We passed more freight trains loaded down with Wyoming coal than other vehicles. Grant County, where the confluence is located, was home to 747 people in 2000, down from 769 in 1990. Just west of Ashby, we turned south on a one-lane
road that was, surprisingly, paved. The road threads through a pass between two hills and after 2 km, drops into the Larkin Valley.
At 10am mountain time, we took precautions against the sun and headed into the fields that were grazed by cattle. Janell stayed behind to deal with the landowners. A large herd of cattle was clearly visible a few hundred meters to the west. We climbed and crawled over and under two fences, one of them electrified, before skirting one of the numerous ponds for which the sand hills are noted. The pond was partly dried out at the end of the summer, and we sunk into the sandy soil with each step. After a 20 minute walk from the vehicle that covered about 900 meters straight line distance but 1400 meters after skirting the lake, we arrived at the confluence. The lack of trees made it quite easy to zero out the GPS unit.
The confluence lies on nearly flat ground, sloping ever so slightly toward the lake to the north. It is covered mostly by short prairie grasses, and surprisingly, a few flowers, as seen in the photograph. Some grasses were over a meter high, but most were about 15 cm. The farthest horizon we could see was about 10 km away to the west. We could see one ranch house and outbuildings clearly to the northwest, but that was the only dwelling. We saw a few birds but no animals except the cattle. The temperature was quite warm, 31 C, and only a slight breeze was blowing. The sky was cloudless; a perfect late summer day. We spent about 10 minutes at the site, enjoying the wide open spaces and the sand hills. I reflected at how different a summer visit is than the winter visit I had made to 42 North 101 West in February. Any season is a good one for getting out there and exploring the planet.
As we were leaving the site, in the distance we saw a truck stop at our vehicle. My heart sank as I realized that I had neglected to print the access request letter for the landowner. I hoped that all was going well with the conversation that was obviously taking place. After a few minutes, the vehicle left. When we arrived back at the vehicle, Janell mentioned that the landowner was not overly pleased, and thought that "that spot had already been surveyed." Janell tried assuring him of our benevolent and harmless intentions. Our mission accomplished, we turned around and drove back to Highway 2, on to 41 North 103 West on the Colorado-Nebraska border.

This week on Ask the Critic: a family lunch in Soho and Italian heroes in Manhattan.
Lunch in Soho
Hi Critic. I've got family coming into town in a few weeks and they're staying in Soho, and want to do lunch in the area (so Soho or Nolita). They appreciate good food, but they'll have their 12-year-old daughters with them, so nothing a kid couldn't appreciate. Reservations would be ideal. Any ideas?
Perhaps Osteria Morini? Michael White's Soho restaurant is one of his more casual, a rustically comfortable place to have a good meal, and it tends to be quiet at lunch. And it's a place that can accommodate many kinds of diners: an excellent seafood salad for a lighter eater, steak or a mortadella meatball sandwich for a bigger appetite, pasta for the kids, gorgeous cured meat spreads for the adults.
Other ideas? Einat Admony's Balaboosta, a lovely Middle Eastern spot that falls somewhere between charmingly homestyle and simply elegant; and Back Forty West, the second outpost of Peter Hoffman's farm-to-table restaurant, whose menu starts with straightforward salads and sandwiches but gets more interesting from there—"pork face nuggets," a fluke sandwich with pickled rhubarb.
Big Ol' Sandwiches
I'm visiting New York next week and I'm dying for a well-made, meaty big ol' Italian sub. Classic, nothing fancy. Preferably Manhattan.
My go-to massive hero, conveniently located in the middle of the West Village, is the Italian Special at Faicco's. Cappicola, soppressata, prosciutto, with mozzarella, peppers, lettuce and tomato, and enough oil and vinegar to bind it all together—it's the sort of meaty specimen you can hardly wrap your jaw around, the sort where a one-inch sliver would be a substantial amount of food, but you'll eat the whole thing regardless. It's a remarkable sandwich.
But New York, even when limited to Manhattan, has dozens of options. It's hard to go wrong at Alidoro, where the Italian subs don't have quite that high of a meat tower, but that's probably for the best; all the better to appreciate their inventive meat-and-cheese combos, like the Pinocchio, a prosciutto-soppressata number with an aggressive olive tapenade. There's Parisi, a Little Italy bakery with sandwiches that do justice to their bread; the mortadella and provolone is a particular favorite. And there's Parm, which, while a little pricier and a little higher-brow than its old-school brethren, does an Italian combo up there with any I've ever eaten. Get it to stay, and add a side of cauliflower or garlic knots, or just finish it up with ice cream cake.
Ask Us!

If we truly want to improve our nation's schools, we should be focused on making the teaching profession one that attracts – and then keeps – the most intellectually alive, talented and ambitious young people. Instead our current education policy makes the profession less and less attractive all the time as a career choice.
Soon only the blindly idealistic or those with minimal talent will opt to make teaching a profession. Those drawn to education as a vocation will sidestep experience in the classroom and head straight for roles in administration. Why go into the classroom if the focus is all on testing results, if quality learning experiences are sacrificed on the altar of school grades, and if the mood is one of blaming our social ills on the teachers?
As those who are potentially our finest teachers choose other careers, wealthy parents will see the writing on the wall and increasingly abandon public schools for private schools. The result will be an ever-widening gap between the wealthy and the poor. In other words, as a result of our obsession with standardizing both testing and what is taught, as well as the current habit of browbeating teachers – all in the name of equalizing schools – what we are going to get is the direct opposite – increased stratification between the haves and have-nots. This is not education serving democracy, but education serving the preservation of privilege.
If we really want to improve education for all, we will do everything possible to attract the most capable young people to the profession. With the right people doing the job, the labyrinthian evaluation system currently being developed at great expense by the states, would be unnecessary. One reason we think we need such a system now is that in the past decades, since the women's movement opened the doors of other professions to women, the quality of teachers has declined.
Highly-trained, ambitious teachers need an intellectually vibrant community to help them thrive. The experience of working in such a community, one dedicated to doing the best for students, goes a very long way toward guaranteeing strong teacher performance. Draconian teacher evaluation systems will not yield such excellence.
What can we do to get outstanding young people to enter the teaching profession? Clearly it would help if we were to raise teacher pay to at least approximate that available in the other professions. What teachers also want is a respectful, helpful environment in which to work. This means having a seat at the decision-making table, having time to think and collaborate with colleagues, and having administrators who work hard to meet the needs of teachers. Most teachers do not support one size fits all standardized testing, but prefer assessments tied to their classroom program. They do not support grading schools. They want to channel their energy into developing engaging curriculum for students. They want to be involved in an educational community devoted to researching the very best ways to meet the learning needs of children.
Let's take the money we are spending on testing and evaluating teachers and use it to really improve the schools. Let's do what Finland, and South Korea, and all the top educational systems in the world do – let's develop policies whose aim is enticing the very best candidates to enter the teaching profession. Then we will really see our nation's schools improve.

Earlier this year, Sony has unveiled a number of smartphones running on the Android Operating System. The worst part was that almost all of the devices unveiled before June was powered by the old Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) OS. Xperia Neo L is the company's first device, which runs on the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) OS out of the box.
In this post, we'll focus on the Sony Xperia U, Xperia Go, Xperia Sola. These mid-range devices were launched during the first half of 2012 and was powered by the Android 2.3 OS. Today, the manufacturer finally started rolling out the newer Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) OS for these smartphones.
The latest update brings with some usability improvements, applications multitasking, new lock/unlock features, Face Unlock, mobile data management, improved text input and spell checking, home screen folders and more. Xperia Sola will get an additional new feature called as Glove Mode. It is basically an extension of the floating touch technology that allows the owners of Xperia Sola to use the device in the cold while wearing gloves. Check out the complete features below.
- New ways to experience your tunes, images, videos and films with Sony's media applications – Walkman, Album and Movies.
- Extended standby mode, increasing standby time by up to four times (depending on user-profile and data consumption).
- Lock screen with improved functionality.
- Resizable widgets for improved personalization.
- Improved control of your mobile data consumption.
- Recent Apps button for a clear overview of your applications.
The latest update will not be available via OTA (Over-The-Air). To update your Xperia U, Go and Sola smartphones, you will need manually connect your device to the computer and use the PC Companion for Windows or Sony's Bridge software for Mac. The availability and scheduling of this software upgrade will depend on the market as well as the carrier. To learn more, head over to this page.

I started writing for Trend Hunter as an opportunity to discover the contemporary designers I'd learned little about in my history-based degree at the University of Toronto. By my third article I was hooked and now the rest is history!
I'm a lover of graphic, furniture and industrial design, of architecture and painting. I feel fortunate to have grown up around my beloved Toronto and to have lived in Canberra and Melbourne, Australia, where there's so much scrumptious creative inspiration around every corner.

JAMESTOWN – Three special honors will be presented during the Jamestown Community College Foundation's annual recognition event on October 25.
Patricia Phillips, a member of the JCC Foundation board of directors since 1999, will receive the John D. Hamilton Award. The Community Partner Award will be given to JCC's regional sponsors which include the city of Jamestown, Cattaraugus County, and Chautauqua County. Paul Benke, who served as JCC's president from 1981 to 1991, will be honored as president emeritus during the event.
The John D. Hamilton Award was established by the JCC Foundation in 1995 to recognize individuals whose contributions exemplify those of Hamilton, a past president and trustee emeritus of JCC.
Mrs. Phillips, a member of the JCC Foundation's executive committee, also serves as chairperson of the membership committee. She co-chaired the Funding Excellence campaign which supported building construction and special projects at JCC, including the new Science Center on the Jamestown Campus.
Mrs. Phillips is a long-time member of JCC's Jamestown Campus Alumni Association board of directors, and volunteers regularly at alumni events including the annual Mystery at JCC fundraiser, JCC Night at the Ballpark, and the USA Scholarship luncheon. She has co-chaired the organizing committee for the George Bataitis Open Golf tournament since 1997, which has provided over $150,000 for JCC's athletics program.
The Community Partner Award recognizes the vital role of organizations that work collaboratively with JCC to provide educational, social, cultural, and civic enrichment for the area. The city of Jamestown served as JCC's sole local sponsor from 1950 to 1996. In 1996, Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties joined the city to establish a regional sponsorship model.
Benke, JCC's fifth president, oversaw the incorporation and establishment of the JCC Foundation. In addition, he worked with Roger Tory Peterson, the Peterson family, and community leaders to locate the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown. Later, he served as chairman of the RTPI board of directors, during which time the RTPI facility was built.
Benke was also integral in the establishment of JCC's Warren Center and the development of the Scandinavian Studies Program and endowment.
The JCC Foundation recognition event will be held on the Jamestown Campus. For more information or to make reservations, visit www.jccfoundation.org or call 338.1010.

OMG! Do I really need all of these wedding accessories? What do I do with them after the wedding? Do I have to spend on all of these items for a one time affair? - These are the questions you may ask yourself when shopping for wedding accessories for the first time. But don't fret, we've made a handy list to keep it simple!
Cake Servers & Champagne Flutes - some couples choose to purchase these and use them for years to come. They cut all their future cakes with them from Thanksgiving parties to Independence day events. Chances are you'll get more use out of your cake server than your champagne flutes. If you're looking to forgo something because of a budget, we say nix the flutes. Your cake server may (or may not be) in wedding photographs. But if it isn't, you can eliminate this too for the budget conscious bride. If you do splurge for these items - go big and save or display them for years to come!
Flower Girl Baskets & Ring Pillows - if little one's aren't in your wedding party, then these can be removed from your shopping list. However, since these truly are one time use items, we recommend that these wedding accessories be affordable. Purchase something you are happy with, without breaking the bank!
Guest Books, Pens & Alternatives - Don't skip out on this important wedding accessory! This is a good record of (mostly) everyone who attended your event, its a way to help you write your thank you notes and it will bring a smile when you read everyone's good wishes. Want something more practical and useful to record your memories - go with a gust book alternative and have everyone sign a picture frame that you can display in your home for years.
Unity Candles & Holders - depending on if you want to keep this tradition in your wedding ceremony, you may or may not need this bridal accessory. We love the alternative sets - especially the sand photo frames - you can display them in your home after the wedding.
Cake Toppers - the center of every reception is the cake. No matter if you believe it or not - your guest's eyes will gravitate to the wedding cake! Adorn it with a beautiful cake topper that reflects your personal style and keep it in your home on display to remind you of your magical moment.
Memorial items are a beautiful way to express how much you miss those who have passed. Although not an essential wedding accessory, some couples choose to honor family in this way. Display it near the bridal table or guest book table so everyone can be touched by their memory.

La Casa Cafe in Northport: Redecorated, reopened
It was a busy winter for Joe Celano, owner of La Casa Cafe at Crab Meadow Beach in Northport. Celano, along with two members of La Casa's crew, remodeled the interior of the restaurant without professional help. Now, said Celano, there's a bigger waiting space as well as an expanded bar area with new hardwood floors. A 70-inch flat screen TV at the entryway plays a perpetual aquarium scene — unless there's a big game on. The refurbished dining room features new carpeting, banquettes and upholstered wood-backed chairs; the original greenhouse windows remain.
And the salad bar — updated and edited a bit — is back. Unlimited trips are figured into the cost of all entrees ordered in the dining room. On that menu: chicken bruschetta — a breaded cutlet topped with a mozzarella, red onion, tomato and mesclun salad ($20.95); penne Diana, made with sauteed chicken, caramelized onions, bacon, broccoli and basil in an Alfredo cream sauce ($19.95); and chicken Parmigiana ($18.95).
Outdoors there's table service, no access to the salad bar and lower prices: that same chicken parm goes for $14.95. The outdoor menu, shorter than the one inside, includes burgers, sliders, panini and pizza.
As in years past, beachgoers can get pizza by the slice or the pie from an outdoor window and eat it at an uncovered table.
La Casa Cafe is at 445 Waterside Ave., Northport, 631-757-7720.

Can you teach an old dog's aching bones new tricks? With the help of some wonderful products, we've found the answer to be YES.
Let me tell you about Daisy Splash Magazines official first dog. She's a lovely Dalmatian who turned fourteen years old this last fourth of July. Daisy is a very happy dog whos favorite things to do are eat and chase her other step brother and sister dog's around. However over the last couple of years she's felt the tug of time passing and has developed some major "hitches in her giddy up". They all revolve around her lower back and hip areas. She's been diagnosed with arthritis and hip dysplasia.
Those of you with aging pets know the heartache of watching your beloved pet not be able to move around freely like they did when they were younger. It really pulls at the heart strings to watch Daisy struggle in pain to just sit or lie down. She been know to just wander around the room bumping into everything, getting stuck in corners unable to back up easily, behavior that we believe is an attempt to move away from her pain. When trying to sit she'll walk around in multiple circles and when she finally gets up the courage to sit, she never goes completely down instead you'll see her putting her weight on one leg only and balancing an inch or two above the ground. She no longer loves to run outside once the door is open. Instead she stands wistful at the doorway sniffing around with a full bladder wondering how she is going to make it down the stoop of three stairs. Once she has made it outside the problem still hasn't been solved because she can't even squat like a normal dog to relieve herself. She's resorted to draining her bladder as she attempts a walking half squat and slow run away from the pain of the movement. Like I said it's heartbreaking and I'm sure it's a story similar to many others out there of aging pets.
Her human daddy began a quest of finding something, anything that would help or in the best of situations heal her. Below are a listing of some of the products found and the benefits reaped.
Help Em Up Harness
The Help Em Up Harness is a complete shoulder and hip harness system. It was designed to help aging dogs and also dogs suffering from muscle loss and those recovering from injuries or surgery. It is a harness that fits around the mid section and hips of a dog. The harness has handles which are easy to reach allowing you to offer immediate assistance. Our old system of stabilizing Daisy was grabbing a sling slipping it under her hips jockeying her to the door and praying that the pressure of lifting her with the sling wouldn't push against her bladder encouraging it to empty on us or the floor. The rear "Hip Lift" feature of the harness is invaluable because we can literally grab the front handle and rear handle and easily lift her full body from the house down the stairs to the outdoors without the fear of a bladder incident. The Help Em Up Harness has also been beneficial because it stays on her and we can grab the handles and help her when she needs to be led away from a corner she may have wandered herself into or even at times on her really bad days to help her stabilize herself to get a drink of water from her water bowl.
Flexpet is an all-natural, safe, holistic pet supplement that delivers special nutrients and herbs to the joint, bones, and surrounding tissue. In addition to alleviating the pain, this high quality canine joint supplement can boost a dog's immunity, strengthen the skeletal system, remove harmful toxins and promote general health and well being. So now you know what Flexpet is; the real question is does it work? In Daisy's experience the answer is yes, it definitely helped her feel better. She started on Flexpet and in a short time it was easy to see she felt better. This was demonstrated by her increased mobility and activity level. When she is on Flexpet she isn't as restless (running away from the pain), she has the ability to sit and lie down with greater ease and even on occasion tackle the stairs almost like her old self.
Drinkables Liquid Joint Care
Both humans and animals store substances in their cartilage called Glucosamine and Chondroitin. In fact a dog's body in attempt to keep healthy joints manufactures Glucosamine. As in humans when a dog ages the ability to create Glucosamine reduces and the result can be joint pain and arthritis. By supplementing your dog with a combination of Glucosamine plus Chondroitin (which makes it more available) you can help maintain your dog's joint health, and even alleviate pain. These two supplements reduce enzymes which may destroy cartilage and enhance the ability of cells to rebuild that destroyed cartilage. Drinkables Liquid Joint Care is a high quality supplement in an effective liquid form. The liquid form makes it is easier to swallow, faster to digest and it requires fewer doses while offering more bioavailability than many pills and capsules. Daisy gets hers poured right on top of her food, she likes the flavor and has shown improvements after taking it.
Other products which seem to have helped Daisy feel better include:
BiologicVET's BioFAT
BilologicVET's BioFATS provide dogs witha precise ratio of Omega 3-6-9 fatty acidswhich are known to support healthy skin, shiny coat and maintain normal shedding.BioFATS is a fresh and antioxidant protected supply oforganic flaxseed, fish and virgin olive oils supplying nutrientsknown to support health.
Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil
Observed health benefits of fish oil supplementation include the nourishing and healing benefits of omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA and the naturally occurring vitamins A and D. in canines and felines the benefits of this include heart health, joint mobility and movement, eye health, weight management, brain health, and healthy skin and coat.
We have yet to find the miracle "fountain of youth" cure which will completely restore Daisy's youth and vitality. However, we have found products which have extended the quality of the time she has left, leaving her happier and feeling better in her Golden Years.

PALM COAST, Fla. – The Florida Highway Patrol on Saturday has released the names of the three people killed Friday afternoon when a single-engine plane crashed into a house in Palm Coast: pilot Michael Anders, 57, from Albany, Kentucky, and passengers Duane Shaw, 59. and Charissee Peoples, 42.
The plane crashed at 2:19 p.m., less than 10 minutes after the pilot declared an emergency and reported smoke in the cockpit, telling a Daytona Beach air traffic controller: "We're just getting a little vibration. We have oil pressure problems. We're gonna have to drop quickly here."
Anders (pictured right) was a teacher at Clinton County School District in Kentucky. Friday was his birthday.
The district released the following statement:
"The Clinton County School District is very saddened by the loss of teacher Mr. Michael Anders. Mr. Anders was the Spanish teacher at Clinton County High School. He will be deeply missed by staff and students."
The 1957 Beechcraft Bonanza, en route from Fort Pierce to Knoxville, was diverted to Flagler County Airport, but went down about a mile short of the runway.
"Apparently the air traffic controller had seen that they had entered a bad weather area, and that was just after the transmissions," said FHP Lt. Justin Asbury. "Because of the steepness of the trees in the area, the tall pine trees, it looks like it was a pretty steep descent and it went right into the roof."
With hours, troopers confirmed that all three people on the plane were were dead.
Susan Crockett was in a back bedroom of the home on Utica Path -- about a mile east of the Flagler County Airport and just west of Interstate 95 -- when the plane crashed through her roof and started an intense fire that consumed most of the aircraft and much of the house.
A photo from the scene published by FlaglerLive.com and cell phone video shot by a resident showed flames coming through the roof of the house.
Crockett escaped through a window and was helped from the burning house by neighbors and first responders.
"She went right through the glass window. She's banged up, but she's going to be all right" neighbor Joe McBride said. "She's lucky to be alive because that house is a wreck."
LISTEN: 911 Phone call made by family
Crockett's daughter, Jessica, said more than luck kept her mother alive.
"The fact that my mom survived, the fact that she was able to get out, my mom is a strong woman and nothing will shake her because she has faith in God. I'm so thankful that she's still here," Jessica Crockett said.
IMAGES: Plane crashes into Palm Coast home
McBride said he was looking outside when the plane passed low overhead not more than 40 feet in the air, he estimated.
The plane was making an odd sound as it passed overhead, as if it was stalling, he said. "It sounded like the engine wasn't running right at all."
"I witnessed the entire thing happen. It was gut wrenching," said one post on FlaglerLive.com. "One minute you saw the plane ready to land, the next minute 'poof' it was gone and all you saw was a huge cloud of black smoke. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved."
The FAA reported there were only three people on board the single-engine general aviation aircraft that seats four people.
By late afternoon FHP confirmed three fatalities in the crash, but said they searched other victims. The Flagler County Sheriff's Office initially reported five people were on the plane.
The plane (pictured below) was registered in the British Virgin Islands and owned since 2008 by Anders -- a Spanish teacher at Clinton County High School.
FlaglerLive.com reported that Anders was returning from spending the Christmas holidays in the Virgin Islands with his friend, Shaw -- also from Albany, Kentucky -- and Shaw's girlfriend, Peoples, who was from Indianapolis.
The National Transportation Safety Board arrived Friday night to take over the investigation. While it could takes months to determine what caused the plane to crash, the NTSB scheduled a 3 p.m. Saturday news conference to provide an preliminary update.
Family and neighbors speak about plane crash
Jessica Crockett said it's nothing short of a miracle that her 50-year-old mother, Susan, survived the crash. Her mother was the only one home at the time, and Crockett said she was in her bedroom when the plane carrying three crashed into her home.
"It's nothing but God," said Crockett. "The fact that my mom survived, the fact that she was able to get out."
Crockett said her mother immediately climbed out of her bedroom window and ran across the street to safety.
Paramedics took her to the hospital, but only as a precaution. Crockett said her mother is going to be just fine.
While Susan did survive the crash, investigators said all three people on board had died.
"My heart just goes out to their families," said Crockett. "I can only imagine what it will be like to lose a loved one. I will be praying for their families."
Neighbor Robert Ferrigno said he heard a loud sputtering noise from the engine and then a boom.
"I looked out the front window, up the street, and there's flames coming out the house," said Ferrigno.
Ferrigno said the flames were as high as the surrounding trees, which are about 40 feet tall.
Ferrigno said house insulation was coming down from the sky like snow. He said the homeowner was already in a neighbor's garage across the street.
"Unfortunately things like that happen. Accidents do happen, but never this close to home," Ferrigno said.
Tim Hornsby lives next door to the Crockett's with his wife and 7-week-old baby.
"There's insulation and pieces of it all over my yard," said Hornsby. "I'll be cleaning up tomorrow."
Hornsby said he wasn't home when the plane crashed, but the rest of his family had to be evacuated.
"My wife was pretty upset, yes," said Hornsby. "She was upset after seeing the explosion. I didn't see the accident, but heard the explosion."
The FAA reported the plane was flying under visual flight rules, but weather conditions at the time in Flagler County showed a low cloud cover that would have required instrument flight rules.
"A pilot who flies a lot in Florida knows that the conditions can change dramatically very quickly," said Channel 4's Sam Kouvaris, who is an experienced pilot.

Mayor Garcetti Make Pledge to Aid Region
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter speaks to media outside the White House in Washington, Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014, after an event with President Barack Obama about the Promise Zones Initiative. At left is Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. The Promise Zone Initiative is part of a plan to create a better bargain for the middle-class by partnering with local communities and businesses to create jobs, increase economic security, expand educational opportunities, increase access to quality, affordable housing and improve public safety.
Since 2009, the President has provided more than $350 million in 100 of the nation's persistent pockets of poverty and during the initial round of the title Promise Zone grant funding, only Pico Union, Westlake, Koreatown, Hollywood and East Hollywood were included.
South Los Angeles ranked above the entire state of California according to data released in 2009 by City Data. The state has 19.1 percent poverty and South L.A. had 25 percent and the region with income below 50 percent of the poverty level, South L.A. had 8.7 percent compared to the state level of 6.0 percent.
According to the most recent data from the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, showed evidence of high levels of poverty was pervasive in South L.A.
The chamber's data indicated the vast majority (89 percent) of the tracts with concentrated levels of poverty were adjacent to Downtown and in South Los Angeles.
"The Promise Zone is an important project, and it is terribly needed in South Los Angeles. I am disappointed that South Los Angeles was not included in this round, and I will be following future Promise Zone announcements to ensure that South Los Angeles is included in the next round, said Congresswoman Karen Bass in a statement.
"I am hopeful the Promise Zones are similar to the anti-drug grants of the 1990s. We were fortunate that South Los Angeles was included in the first round, but after a few years Los Angeles received multiple follow-up grants.
"My hope is that Los Angeles ultimately has multiple Promise Zones, with South Los Angeles at the front of the next round."
The initiative designate a number of high poverty communities as Promise Zones, where the federal government will partner with and invest in communities to create jobs, leverage private investment, increase economic activity, expand educational opportunities and improve public safety.
"The only places eligible for these Promise Zones had to have won a Promise Neighborhood or Choice Neighborhood grant, but unfortunately those hadn't been given in South L.A.," explained Garcetti.
The Mayor said the aforementioned grants predated him and was done before his administration. He said those applications had been processed by the city earlier before he was elected as mayor.
"What we did is created something called a Promise Zone where you had to see the geography of it. South L.A. can get money from the Promise Zone," Garcetti said.
"It doesn't say those grants cannot be spent outside the Promise Zones, it just says that part of it has to go into the Promise Zones.
Garcetti added that there are five or six core pieces of the Promise Zone which the mayor intends to assure that other parts of the city benefit from the funding. Potentially, if South L.A. was included there could have been portions that would not have been covered under the grant, according to the mayor.
"I as the Mayor am not going to accept those technical rules as the reason not to expand and grow my efforts to end poverty and make more safer and livable communities, especially in South L.A.," Garcetti stated.
Garcetti targets Downtown and south of Downtown as pockets of the poorest in the city, but he added that there are other portions of the city in dire need as well.
The $2 billion funding will be spread throughout a 10 year period and the Los Angeles and according to the mayor the city will receive in the "high tens to hundreds of millions" in that time span.
Among the areas specified are safe passages to schools, parks and recreation, the department of agriculture, housing and public transportation.

The form is reported to the IRS and sent to the party paying the tuition. Because tuition may be tax deductible, receiving Form 1098-E and reporting the tuition to the IRS may significantly impact one's tax liability.

This appendix describes how date and time behave and are configured in Oracle BAM.
It contains the following topics:
All of the data that is sent to Oracle BAM is stored in oracle BAM data objects in the server time zone.
Oracle BAM Architect displays data in the server time zone.
The data in filters and prompts is also in the server time zone by default.
Time zone setting in the Active Studio and Active Viewer personalize dialog is used by default to transform times from Oracle BAM Server time to the preference of the user in their locale.
Time-based alerts always use the time zone settings configured in the user preferences.
Reports may define their own date pattern and transformation, or use the time zone settings configured in the user preferences.
All display of dates in the Web browser is formatted as per the Web browser locale.
For alerts that e-mail reports to users, there is no Web browser in the use case, so the user preference is used for formatting.
A Time Zone preference can be set in the Personalize dialog in Oracle BAM Active Studio and Oracle BAM Active Viewer. This feature helps to maintain the default preference for a user. A user can set any one of the following:
GMT for reports and locale time zone for alerts.
Your locale time zone (Asia/Calcutta).
Choose a time zone preference.
A user can also indicate if the time should be adjusted for daylight savings.
The user's indicated Time Zone preference in is used for displaying time in reports and time-based alerts.
In reports, this is applicable only when a report contains datetime data in GMT, and value formatting is specified as Each users time zone preference.
In time-based alerts, if time zone preference is not set, then it would be set to the Web browser's locale time zone for that user, and the alert also provides a link to override the default setting.
No date or time transformation is done to the date column values if there are no settings specified in "Value Format".
Pattern and transformation can be overridden using "Value Format":
Date pattern (e.g. m/d/yy or MM/dd/yy H.mm.ss or Long date and time ...) for date columns can be defined using "Value Format".
Date transformation (adjust from GMT) for date columns can be defined using "Value Format". One out of the following options can be selected for transformation:
Each users time zone preference.
Each browser's locale time zone.
Specific user defined time zone selected from a predefined list.
A user can also mention if the transformation should take daylight savings time into account.
Dates are transformed as per user preference in prompts.
In filter expressions, dates are input in default time zone, as it is displayed in Oracle BAM Architect. Dates are transformed as per user preference in prompts.
Alerts UI displays Date-Time in user preferred time zone, and formats it according to the locale setting of the user's browser. User can set his time zone settings for alerts from the "Personalize" link in Active Studio/Active Viewer/Architect.
If there is no time zone set for for a particulr user, it is set to his local time zone when he first tries to access the Alerts editor to create or edit an alert.
If the alert has been configured to run as a different user (using the "Run As" feature), time zone setting of the "Run As" user will be considered. Again, if the "Run As" user does not have Alerts time zone preference, set, current user's (alert creator's) local time zone will be set as his alerts time zone preference.
Formatting of date-time in Alerts UI is as per the user locale (locale set in user's browser).
EMS has the ability to parse the date time values of the incoming payload. One can define the parsing format or resort to default parsing in the DateTime Specification section of the EMS definition configuration.
Pattern is specified by using the pattern letters (Note that this pattern and Locale specification is used to construct a java.text.SimpleDateFormat Java object).Locale is specified by providing the following three sub-specifications (refer to java.uitl.Locale class definition for further details):
Language: This should be lowercase two-letter ISO-639 code (for example, en, fr, de, it).
Country: This should be uppercase two-letter ISO-3166 code (for example, CN, TW, FR, DE).
Variant: This can be vendor or browser specific code. For example, use WIN for Windows, MAC for Macintosh, and POSIX for POSIX. Where there are two variants, separate them with an underscore, and put the most important one first. For example, a Traditional Spanish collation might construct a locale with parameters for language, country and variant as es, ES, Traditional_WIN.
Based on whether pattern and/or Locale are specified or not, we have the following implementation:
|Pattern Specified
|Locale Specified
Provided pattern and Locale will be used to construct a SimpleDateFormat object and it will be used in the parsing of source fields in DateTime format.
Same as above except that default Locale (i.e., Locale.getDefault()) will be used.
yyyy#MM#dd#hh#mm#ss#SSS where "#" can be any of the following separators:
: (colon)
- (dash)
_ (underscore)
. (period)
T (capital T)

Citrix Systems turned in record-breaking financials in the second quarter.
Revenues at the application, server, and desktop virtualization software specialist hit $530.8m, up 15.8 per cent, and net income was $81.9m, up an impressive 72.3 per cent from the year-ago period.
In the quarter, product license sales rose by 15.2 per cent to $171.3m. License update revenues were up 9.1 per cent to $183.9m, and online services sales shot up by 19.1 per cent to $106.5m. Technical services revenues at Citrix for Q2 did very well, rising 33.2 per cent to $69.1m.
During a conference call with Wall Street analysts, David Henshall, CFO at Citrix, said that the Desktop Solutions division at the company had total sales of $305m in the quarter, up 9 per cent and new license revenue rising 10 per cent. These desktop products include XenApp application virtualization software (formerly known as Presentation Server), which was flat in the quarter, while XenDesktop, a tool for doing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) rose more than 10 per cent. New license revenues for XenDesktop were up more than 20 per cent in the quarter, and the company ended the quarter with over 2,800 XenDesktop customers as June came to a close.
In Q2, Citrix had 163 deals with licenses for over 1,000 XenDesktop seats and 19 of those deals were for more than 5,000 seats. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, Henshall told Wall Street that XenApp sales would continue to be flat for the remainder of 2011 and that XenDesktop license sales would accelerate, perhaps cresting above 30 per cent.
In the Data Center and Cloud division, which includes NetScaler network application acceleration and caching appliances, the XenServer hypervisor and related management tools, and the Branch Repeater WAN optimization appliances, rose by 32 per cent to $93m. New license revenues for these products was up by 26 per cent, and total NetScaler license revenues were up by more than 90 per cent.
More than half of the customers that bought NetScaler physical or virtual appliances were first-time Citrix customers, and sales of the NetScaler VPX virtual appliances, which run atop the Xen hypervisor on any x64 server, were up by a factor of 2.5 compared to Q2 2010.
Mark Templeton, president and CEO at Citrix, said that there are now over 1,500 customers using the VPX appliances and that 80 per cent of these customers were new to Citrix. Also, about a quarter of all NetScaler customers are using a mix of MPX hardware appliances and VPX virtual appliances to do their application acceleration. A special version of the NetScaler appliance called SDX started shipping in the quarter, and it puts a XenServer hypervisor and up to 40 VPX appliances on a single server to allow for secure, multi-tenancy for service providers.
Branch Repeater sales were down by 66 per cent in the quarter against a tough compare with a big order in the year ago period.
In the remaining Citrix division, Online Services, sales hit $106m in the second quarter, up 19 per cent. The GoTo family of collaboration products had a 31 per cent spike in the quarter and accounted for more than half of all Online Services sales.
Henshall said that HDFaces, a teleconferencing add-on for GoToMeeting that is being made available for free, would ship in the quarter. The product was previewed a year ago along with a slew of Xen tweaks.
Henshall said that Citrix now has over 6,100 employees, up roughly 1,000 in the past year with 130 (mostly in sales and services roles) added in the second quarter. That does not include the employees that came through the acquisition of Kaviza in May for its SMB-focused VDI competitor to XenDesktop and the acquisition of Cloud.com in July for its expertise in and add-ons for the open source OpenStack cloud fabric.
Speaking of those two acquisitions, Henshall said that these two companies would shave off 3 cents in earnings per share in Q3 and 2 cents in Q4 as Citrix integrates them and figures out how to rationalize and integrate their products into the Xen world.
Looking ahead, Henshall said that Citrix would post somewhere between $540m to $547m in revenues in the third quarter, with earnings per share of 56 to 58 cents, including the hit from the Kaviza and Cloud.com deals. For the full year, Citrix has raised its guidance and now expects for sales to be between $2.16bn and $2.19bn, with earnings per share hitting $2.38 and $2.41 – including the 5 cent whack from those two deals.
Citrix has $1.7bn in cash and investments in the bank, $830m in deferred revenues, and no debts. It will no doubt be on the prowl in the second half of the year to make some more opportunistic acquisitions. ®

The entire collection of Harewood House is a Designated Collection of national importance.
This great 18th century house was designed by John Carr of York for the Lascelles family. Robert Adam designed the interiors, Thomas Chippendale the furnishings and fittings, and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown landscaped the garden. Harewood contains rich and diverse collections: internationally important Chippendale furniture; Renaissance masterpieces; works by Gainsborough, Romney, Reynolds and Turner; an outstanding collection of Sèvres porcelain, including a tea service made for Queen Marie-Antoinette; and clocks made by the royal clockmaker Benjamin Vulliamy. Visitors can see fine decorative schemes in the setting for which they were commissioned; and the present Earl's modern art collection. Lord Harewood's mother, HRH Princess Mary, Princess Royal, lived at Harewood for 35 years and much of her Royal memorabilia is still displayed.
For the first time ever in 2004, the Servants' Hall, Housekeeper's Room, and corridors of 'Below Stairs' Harewood, displaying over 1,000 objects with fascinating tales to tell, opened to the public. Through a mixture of hands-on discovery, historical reconstruction, and computer-aided learning, visitors will find out how the servants lived, what they wore and what they did. Visitors are encouraged to peek inside cupboards to make often weird and sometimes wonderful discoveries – from bedpans to boot-scrapers, servants' livery to cabinetmaker's bills. The Old Kitchen contains "the best collection of noble household copperware in the country" giving visitors a glimpse into an essential area of yesteryear's below stairs life. In contrast the Terrace Gallery is a nationally recognised venue for many high profile contemporary artists.
The exhibitions are changed regularly to reflect the diversity and quality of the collections at Harewood.

OAKLAND — A politician running for Alameda County auditor has been charged with six felony counts of voter fraud and perjury for allegedly lying about her county residence as a candidate for office.
Kathleen Knox, 49, who admitted to this newspaper earlier in the week that she cannot recall the last night she spent at the San Leandro senior home listed as her address on her candidate and voter registration forms, was charged by the Alameda County District Attorney on Friday.
A spokeswoman for the district attorney's office decline to comment on the case except to say she expects Knox to be arraigned in superior court on Monday.
Knox was living in Contra Costa County earlier this year but said she returned to San Leandro, where she owns a business and has long-standing ties, to run for the Alameda County seat.
On a recent visit to the Danville home where her two sons live with an uncle, a car registered to Knox was parked in the driveway. Her website says that "as the county's auditor, I will fight waste and fraud."
Knox did not immediately return a phone call or an email seeking comment for this article. She also acknowledged this week that she's never worked or become qualified as an investment banker, despite her own campaign literature that describes her "business background in investment banking."
Knox filed to run for the countywide office in March after Patrick O'Connell, the longtime auditor-controller/clerk-recorder, abruptly announced he was not running for re-election on the same day that his chief deputy auditor, Steve Manning, filed papers to take his place. That gave outside candidates just three days to join the race for an open seat. Knox is the only candidate challenging Manning in the June 3 election. Both are registered Democrats.
Alameda County's auditor leads a department responsible for all accounting, payroll, tax analysis, contract compliance, and auditing of budgeting and grants. The position also has a dual role of clerk-recorder, charged with the maintenance of vital records, maps and other public documents.
The Rose Gate address in San Leandro has been Knox's voting address since 2006, according to public documents. She also used that as her home address when she served on the San Leandro Human Services Commission from 2007 to 2009, according to the city. Knox, the daughter of former Alameda County treasurer and supervisor Bob Knox, said her ties to San Leandro and Alameda County run deep.

Go get 'em: Selling everything to children
Is it a good thing that children are becoming more empowered consumers? What are the moral, spiritual, political, and social consequences of the relentless transformation of just about everything– from a bio-engineered baby to the post-9/11 image of America– into a product for sale?
Where's the "free" in free market? Are there still some things that money can't buy?
These are the type of tough questions tackled in a seminar, "The Commodification of Everything," sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture. Renowned sociologist Juliet Schor kicked off the series.
Schor, author of The Overspent American: Why We Want What We Don't Need, informed, entertained, and provoked a crowd of eager listeners with her compelling research on recent trends in teen/child marketing.
Did you know that 4-12 year olds spent $30 billion of their own money on goods last year? Or that peer-to-peer marketing seeds products with trendsetters and uses friendship as its most effective sales pitch? Penny candy is a thing of the past. Only costly, cool-brand goods like Nike and Nintendo can really create a "buzz."
A sign of the stimulating nature of these colloquia, which tend to raise more questions than they answer, Schor concluded her talk not by encouraging the audience to save children and fight manipulative marketing magnates, but by highlighting one of the positive elements of the kid-consumer trend: the fact that it makes kids into empowered economic actors.
"We've had critiques of male authority over female, critiques of racial authority-– what we need now is a critique of adult authority over kids," she said.
Over the next few months, five more speakers will continue the creative, in-depth analysis of the topic of commodification from several different angles. Mark your calendars for the next colloquium on February 27 at 3:30pm.
George Ritzer, University of Maryland sociology professor and author of The McDonaldization of Society, will talk on "The Globalization of Nothing." On March 21, Graham Ward speaks on "The Commodification of Religion," and the series concludes April 10 with speakers Kiku Adatto and Michael Sandel. Their talks are, respectively, "Selling Out Childhood" and "Are There Some Things that Money Can't Buy? The Moral Limits of Markets."
Established at the University of Virginia in 1995, the Institute for Advanced Studies is a nonprofit, interdisciplinary research center whose mission is to examine the profound changes taking place in contemporary American society and to map their implications for individual and social life.
The Spring Colloquium Series is intended to provide the public with an interdisciplinary public forum for exploring and discussing issues of enduring significance and common concern. Past topics include, "The Question of Evil" and "Technology and the Human Person."
"The Commodification of Everything"continues on February 27 with a talk by George Ritzer on "The Globalization of Nothing." Two more colloquia take place March 21 and April 10. All talks are at 3:30pm in Minor Hall. For more information about the series and the Institute's other projects, visit virginia.edu/iasc/colloquia.html
