All the single ladies will be watching the upcoming Super Bowl along with football lovers. That's because Beyonce is the halftime show performer.
The NFL confirmed rumors that the Grammy-winning diva will take the stage at the halftime show on Feb. 3, 2013 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, with a Tweet.
The "Single Ladies" singer had earlier posted her own confirmation via message in eyeblack.
U.S. & World
On her Tumblr page, Beyonce posted a closeup of her face with the date Feb. 3, 2012 written beneath her eyes, football-style.
Beyonce, whose pop and R&B hits include "Crazy in Love," ''Irreplaceable" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," has won 16 Grammy Awards. The 31-year-old sang the national anthem at the 2004 Super Bowl in her hometown of Houston when the New England Patriots defeated the Carolina Panthers.
Madonna performed at halftime at this year's Super Bowl in February with guests CeeLo Green, Nicki Minaj, LMFAO and M.I.A. The New York Giants beat the New England Patriots in a thrilling rematch of the contest four years earlier. Her performance was seen by 114 million people, a higher average than the game itself, which was seen by an estimated 111.3 million people, according to the Nielsen Co.
If Beyonce's performance at the Pepsi NFL Halftime Show features collaborations, it could likely include husband-rapper Jay-Z and her Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
New Orleans last hosted a Super Bowl in 2002, making next year's game the first NFL championship in the city since Hurricane Katrina devastated parts of the Louisiana Superdome in 2005. Pepsi is returning as the sponsor for the halftime show since doing so in 2007 when Prince performed.

Those of you who've been visiting the site for a while have heard about this already. But it's one of the best memories of my life. Lara – I miss you. I miss us getting completely rejected by Anna Wintour at the Costume Institute Gala in 2007. It's moments like these that can bond you for life. Lara and I will always have Anna. It was the honour of a lifetime.
Perhaps it was a good thing then that we were not together, Lara and I, last night at the Met, to see both Anna and Bee Schaffer fail so miserably. And not even a fun, ironic, on purpose Fail like Anna's superhero Chanel last year. This year was an unintended Fail. Unintentional Fails are the worst.
First Anna - the print, it sucks. And f-cks up the proportion. Weird mirror funhouse.
Then Bee. Oh Bee. Last year her dress was so overwhelming Andre Leon Talley had to personally escort her train up the stairs. This year… it's like a Blake Lively reject. Anna Wintour's daughter in what looks like a Blake Lively reject?!!!???!! Blasphemy!!!!
I don't understand how this could come from Nina Ricci. Doesn't seem possible. But it is. It was.
Every other girl at prom wants this dress, and the convenient slit, and Anna decided it was fit for her daughter on fashion's most exciting night…? She's lucky Karl declined. They would fight about this and he would win.

Beat the Streak Report: Thursday, July 14
Annnnd we're back.
After the longest 72 hours of the Beat the Streak season, real live Major League Baseball games resume today at 7:05 ET.
Roughly 44 percent of the campaign has yet to unfold, which means there's still plenty of time to reach 57 games and claim the $5.6 million grand prize. Or plenty of time to put together like 20 three-game Streaks with an awesome season-high eight-gamer thrown in. More likely scenario!
Current leader hankwoods sits at 35, but nobody else entered the break at more that 28 games. Hope you caught up on sleep and got all those nagging chores done over the weekend — recess is officially over.
Thursday's picks:

BTS Carlos Gonzalez to start the 2nd half
HRBTS Mark Teixeira
Gotta say the 1st half has been tough. Year of the Pitcher 2? No, don't think so. Maybe more like: Year of the Inconsistent Hitters?
Last year BTS had 5 players make streaks of 38 or higher to get on the "All Time BTS Streaks" listing. This year, so far: just 1 (though he isn't on that list yet). I guess Ian will rectify that relatively soon?
Pertaining to last year and this year: Maybe it's no more steroids.
Wonder how many "No Selections" there will be today? Find out in about 30 mins.
Highest no selection is on page 1 with a streak of 23 and there is another no selection on page 1 with a streak of 22. I guess they forgot when vacation ended. Today resumes no selections equaling streaks of 0.
Pretty much why I asked the question. I expected a higher than normal "No Selection" today. Not sure how it is yet, but obviously we've got some highly ranked ones… Running Top2500 now, be posted in about 5 minutes or so
FYI: Those at 14-gamers or more: 14 failed to make a pick today

Car Go is a DNP as well for today since he won't be playing tonight either. His wrist is still bothering him.
That was a quick 1 in HR BTS. I went with Santana and he came through in the first inning. I wasn't expecting that at all.
For all those that picked Yankees today (me included), gotta wonder if some of them will get more than 2 ABs the way that game is going.
NYY trying to make a comeback. Several Yankees got hits this 3rd inning, including the leader's pick
Every Yankee has a hit except for Eduardo Nunez. My pick better not pinch hit.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 13, 2012) – A young group of players from the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team will play Argentina in the finals of the Pan American Cup on Saturday after outlasting the Dominican Republic, 25-21, 23-25, 25-22, 25-27, 15-12 on Friday in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The U.S. Men (4-0) will play Argentina (4-0) for the gold medal at 5 p.m. PT. Dominican Republic (3-2) will face Brazil (3-2) for the bronze.
The U.S. Men led the Dominican Republic in kills (63-59) and blocks (12-10). The Dominicans led in aces (10-4) and digs (29-19).
The U.S. took advantage of 34 Dominican errors while giving up 28 points on errors.
The score was tied 7-7 in the fifth-set tiebreaker when the U.S. Men scored twice on a Dominican error and Rawson block. The U.S. reached match point at 14-11. The Dominican came back to score before the U.S. won it on a Dominican error.
"The Dominican Republic has made amazing improvement since I saw them in California (at the NORCECA Olympic Qualifier)," U.S. Head Coach Shawn Patchell said. "Their serves kept us off balance."
U.S. outside hitter Taylor Sander (Huntington Beach, Calif.) led his team with 22 points on a team-high 19 kills (54.3 kill percent, .400 hitting efficiency), one block and a team-high two aces. Opposite Murphy Troy (St. Louis, Mo.) added 15 points on 14 attacks (50.0 kill percent, .357 hitting efficiency) and one block.
Outside hitter Tony Ciarelli (Huntington Beach, Calif.) contributed 10 points on nine attacks and one block. Middle blocker Matt Rawson (Los Angeles) totaled nine points on four kills and a team-high five blocks.
Outside hitter Garrett Muagututia (Oceanside, Calif.) scored seven points on six attacks and one ace. Opposite Carson Clark (Santa Barbara, Calif.) added five points on five attacks.
Setter Kawika Shoji (Hawaii) finished with five points on two kills, two blocks and one ace. He was credited with 15 assists and set the team to a 50.4 kill percent and a .376 hitting efficiency. The Dominican had a 40.4 kill percent and a .226 hitting efficiency.
The Dominican Republic's Elvis Contreras led all scorers with 28 points on 22 kills, one block and five aces.
U.S. libero Dustin Watten (Long Beach, Calif.) was credited with a team-high nine digs and 10 excellent receptions. Sander led in excellent receptions with 13.
Patchell started Sander and Ciarelli at outside hitter, Rawson and Dan McDonnell (Glendale, Ariz.) at middle blocker, Clark at opposite, Shoji at setter and Watten at libero.
Davis substituted for McDonnell in the first set and started the next four. Troy took over for Clark in the second set and started the next three. Muagututia substituted for Ciarelli in the second set and started the third and fourth before Ciarelli returned to start the fifth.
Outside hitter Jordan Dufault (Lakewood, Calif.) played as a substitute.

I have a Mac laptop and wonder if it is advisable to bring it with me to SE Asia (plan to teach in Vietnam, Thailand, or Cambodia after taking the TEFL or CELTA course). Will a personal laptap be of great assistance to a newbie ESL teacher for lesson planning OR is it unnecessary (and possibly a hassle/risk) to pack it along with me? I know the internet is readily available (at widely different usage costs) and possibly furnished by language schools for it's teachers(?). Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Also, while I don't want to resurrect old issues, I still don't have a handle on the CELTA vs. TEFL issue. I'm more drawn to the TEFL International Course, but want to make sure it would be as universally recognized (or almost as recognized) in SE Asia to preserve my teaching options. Any experience in this regard? They both seem solid, so the recongition factor might be the tipping point.

Too much cookie dough, what can I say?
I've been doing some preliminary work on my great-grandfather John Thomas Stanley's file, getting ready to start entering sources into my RootsMagic database. Converting .pdfs to .jpgs, verifying dates, renaming images, etc.
There is a major problem with my data:
John Stanley's WWI Draft Registration
John Stanley's Death Certificate
John Stanley's Fort Worth Star-Telegram Obituary
John Stanley's Greenwood Cemetery Headstone
Did you notice anything unusual in these documents/photograph?
Check the date(s) given as "Date of Birth"
- WWI Draft Registration- "Dec 25, 1894" (according to Ancestry.com, kinda hard to tell)
- Death Certificate- "December 25, 1894"
- Obituary- "Dec 25, 1894"
- Headstone- "1896"
What date do I enter into my database?
None of these "sources" are primary for birth date. And since John and his older brother Henry were abandoned at approximately ages 2 and 4 respectively, the dates of birth for both boys were supplied by a frightened and bewildered 4-year-old boy! Their birth parents were never identified and the brothers were adopted by my 2nd great-grandfather Miles Francis Stanley and wife Trilla and Trilla's sister Martha and her husband John Fair. There were no reliable witnesses to these boys' births!
What to do? Best 3 outa 4? No social security number is given on the death certificate (although his wife, who died 24 years later, did have a social security card), so did John Stanley have a SS card? Without an accurate date of birth, can I request his SS-5?
Oh, yeah, one more vote for 1894. John Stanley's 1900 census enumeration:
Of note, brother Henry's WWI Registration and his death certificate list his DOB as 1892, and here is an image of the two boys, apparently taken very soon after they were abandoned (I'm thinking to document their appearance in an attempt to find their parents) that shows a boy of about 2 years old and a boy of about 4 years old.
So if Henry was born in 1892, that would put John's birth year to be about 1894.
So what date will I enter into my RootsMagic database?
For now, 1894.
(My great-grandfather was a somewhat wealthy man. I wonder why my great-grandmother never had the headstone corrected… if it was wrong?

I love high waisted pants and the huge bow on the front makes it stand out even more. They're available in 6 patterns and standard mesh sizes. Secondly, MY UGLYDOROTHY recently released a beautiful new skin, Dorothy. She's available in 8 makeups, teeth/no teeth option and shape. It's been a little while since Sopha has released a new skin line and I'm super excited to show you all the makeups below!

The Week That Was: From Sixteen To FourPosted by jstevrtc on March 29th, 2011
David Ely is an RTC contributor.
What We Learned
Throughout the regular season a lot was made about the lack of an elite team in college basketball. For about a month Duke fit the bill, but then Kyrie Irving hurt his toe and the Blue Devils lost their aura of invincibility. As the season wore on, Ohio State and Kansas emerged as the top two teams in the nation. They had all the elements of an elite squad — size, skill, experience and NBA talent — but no one would have confused the Buckeyes and Jayhawks with, say, 2009 North Carolina, 2007 Florida, or 2001 Duke. This year's versions of KU and OSU were very good teams, but neither was at that usual level of "great" that at least one team achieves during a season. The NCAA tournament certainly has reinforced the good-but-not-great trend in college hoops this year. For the first time ever, there won't be a single #1 or #2 seed represented in the Final Four, and the group of #3 Connecticut, #4 Kentucky, #8 Butler and #11 VCU comprises the highest combined seeding of any quartet in Final Four history. The games from the past two weeks show just how little difference there was from #1-20. Kentucky and Arizona looked every bit as talented as Ohio State and Duke, and neither victory felt like an upset. Yes, Butler needed a number of breaks to go its way to advance to the Final Four, but time and time again the Bulldogs made the necessary plays to win, and they never looked overmatched against any one of their higher seeded opponents.

'Get me out of here,' I broke down completely. 'Where are you? Where are you? 1 'Taj Ganga, 405 ... I don't want to be here.' T am coming,'he promised. In an hour I was seated beside the dean in his car and on my way back to campus. 'So, what were ...' he began but fell quiet. He understood, after one look at my face, that I didn't want to talk. 'Dean Shrivastava, I want to work hard. Let's take GangaTech to new heights. I want us to be present in every field of education. Keep me busy. So busy that I don't have time to think.' 'You are already so busy, sir.' He looked troubled. 'More. Why aren't we in coaching classes?' I said. 'There's money there. I want a proposal for engineering and MBA coaching. Okay?' I said, my voice ringing. 'Are you okay, Director Gopal?' the dean said. 'Are you listening to me? I want the proposal,' I said, screaming loud enough to make the driver shift uncomfortably in his seat. 'Yes, Director,'the dean said. He dropped me home. I went straight to the bar near the dining table. 1 opened a new bottle of Black Label whisky we'd bought for the inspectors. I poured it out in a glass to the brim. Neat. The maids filed in. 'Where were you, sahib?' they said. 1 had work,' I said. The whisky tasted bitter, but I swallowed it all. 'Dinner?' I shook my head. The maids left the room. I went to the bookshelf and took out the scrapbook. I poured myself another glass. I drank half of it in one gulp, but when my body rejected it, I had to spit it out. I fell on the floor.

Happy new year, kind readers! Like the rest of you, we have been busy making our 2014 resolutions. In our case, though, they are less about going to the gym and more about tracking down last year's unfulfilled requests.
We begin with Tom in Long Beach, who writes:
"When we were growing up, Mom frequently prepared a recipe she got from Parade magazine. She always referred to this as 'First Lady's Steak.' Adding together the time frame in which we were young and after finding similar recipes attributed to first ladies, my guess is that this recipe was attributed to Lady Bird Johnson."
Tom, can you give us more details? Any ingredients or directions you can think of will be appreciated. Was it chopped steak? Was there a sauce? Any other additions, like onions? Let us know.
From Michelle in Long Beach:
"I need a specific vegetable soup recipe. I know it begins with a stick of butter and ends with nondairy powdered creamer with some onions, carrots, peas, etc., in between and it is super easy and tasty."
From Margie in the Inland Empire:
"Growing up in Santa Ana, there was the best bakery on Bristol Street and McFadden Avenue named Seeley's Pastries. Everything was delicious but the best was their plain butter/sugar cookies. I have tried over the years to replicate this recipe to no avail. They weren't especially sweet and not too doughy."
From Linda in Van Nuys:
"I would like to know if anyone has the recipe for the barbecue sauce from Valley Ranch Barbeque that was on Sherman Way in Van Nuys. I believe it closed in 2010. I haven't found a barbecue sauce that even comes close. It was the perfect sauce and I would buy it by the quart."
Since we're being ambitious, please send us your new requests.
Address requests, contributions and comments to Recipe Request, Daily Breeze, 21250 Hawthorne Blvd., Suite 170, Torrance, CA 90503; or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Recipe Request is also on Facebook.

Whether it's makeup, sunscreen, or sunless tanner, you don't have to jump through hoops to get rid of your ring-around-the-collar. This handy multitasker from The Laundress® eliminates pesky stains in hard-to-reach places and is perfect for hand washing or laundering on the go. Stash a bar in your suitcase and you'll never have to worry about running out of clean clothes the next time you travel.
I am a slob. Period. No matter what I wear, the color, material, whatever, I will get some sort of stain on it.
I'm being totally serious here.
This is my go-to stain remover, along with a portable stick.
It gets out every type of stain I have run up against it!
Chocolate, Mustard, Blood, Marinara sauce to name but a few.
Will def purchase another when this one is completely gone!
I can't believe it isn't already, but you don't need much.
Oh, and the smell!!
I use this bar all of the time! I've used it on our rug, duvet cover, shirts, collars - SO many things - and it does the trick every time. I think maybe once I had to go over it a second time because it was a really tough stain but I've been really pleased with the results every time I've used it and so thankful I was sent two of these bars!5

A Code of Conduct
Maggie Delano
June 27, 2014
Quantified Self Labs is wholeheartedly dedicated to creating conferences and events that are safe and comfortable for everyone involved. This means providing a harassment-free experience for every participant, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, physical appearance, and beliefs.
Providing this experience for our members requires a concrete, visible commitment to the community. We introduced our first anti-harassment policy for the Quantified Self Global Conference in 2013. Quantified Self Boston has followed suit and introduced a Code of Conduct for all their events in April, 2014. Our Bay Area QS meetup has recently implemented this Code of Conduct as well. Meetup members from the Quantified Self Community have also started three women's* meetups (QSXX San Francisco, QSXX Boston, QSXX New York City) to promote inclusion and safe spaces for sharing.
If you are involved in Quantified Self as an organizer or meetup member we encourage you to read our anti-harassment policy and the QS Boston Code of Conduct and use them as a basis for your own work in creating events that are welcoming to all.
Editor's Note: Thanks to our friends Amelia Greenhall and Maggie Delano for their leadership. For more analysis and practical resources in fighting sexism in technology culture, see: The Ada Initiative.

Council endorses hunger eradication as FAO's number one goal
Director-General says FAO set to make even greater contribution to fight against hunger
Council met this week to review FAO's work.7 December 2012, Rome - FAO's governing Council ended its week-long meeting by endorsing a change in the Organization's first global goal from merely reducing hunger to its eradication.
"This unequivocal commitment sets our sights where they should be," said FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva. "We cannot accept anything less than the eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition."
The Council, which meets every six months to oversee programme and budgetary activities, also endorsed the strategic objectives that will guide FAO's future work.
"The strategic objectives which you have endorsed set us in the right path to give an even greater contribution to the eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition," Graziano da Silva told the Council at its closing session.
Graziano da Silva also thanked Council for accepting a strategy to promote collaboration between FAO and civil society.
"No government or organization alone can overcome hunger. It is a goal that needs to be embraced by all. Civil society organizations, the private sector and other actors have important roles to play in our quest for a hunger-free sustainable world," he said.
Council also amended the General Rules to ensure a smoother transition when new administrations are elected to lead the Organization.
"The new rules regarding the transition period will ensure that FAO keeps functioning and gives incoming Directors-General the flexibility to put in place the senior management that he or she needs to lead the organization," he said.

DR Strings NEON Hi-Def Green Bass SuperStrings Light 5-String

Vibrant strings that glow.
NEON is the second in DR's SuperStrings series. Super bright in daylight, and with stage lighting. DR's NEON strings are so bright in appearance "they look like they are on fire." DR's NEON strings shine brightly under stage lights, and are 100% black light active so they glow strongly under UV lighting. And DR's NEON sound as good as they look. As Joey Clemment from Selena Gomez said, "Yeah they look great, but they sound incredible!"
NEON is the first coated string to make no apologies. While NEON lasts as long as a coated string should (three to four times as long as uncoated strings) they sound as good, or better than uncoated strings.
K3 Coating Care
The K3 coating on EXTRA-life strings is designed for use with standard picks and fingers. The K3 coating can be damaged by scraping against metal. It is important that care be taken when stringing guitars and basses where the strings are passed through a metal block or bridge. Scraping can damage the coating.

As published in the Nashville Globe:
Since the passing of the saloon a noticeable feature is the entire absence of drunkeness and rowydism. If for no reason other than this, the local option law is to be commended. Strawberry avenue, the former thoroughfare of the saloon element, is deserted save in one or two instances, and at night the most unfrequented place, with only one light to guide the unwonted traveler. Several persons left the city before and after the closing law went into effect; but can it be said that this si the apparent cause of the remarkable behavior fo the citizens? While there are no open places for the thirsty within this desert town, a daily migration to the oases of Guthrie and Hopkinsville is seen.
A hairbreath escape from death with the only damage a demolished bicycle, was witnessed by many persons, on one of the principle streets of the city last Friday evening. A youth of rustic appearance was coasting down Franklin street hill when he noticed an automobile driven my a machinist gaining rapidly on him. Endeavoring to get out of its wake, the cyclist took the opposite side of the street, only to be followed by the automobile. The next instant, a head-end collision occurred with the above name result.
Clarksville, one of the poorest lighted towns in the state, did not hide its beacon brightness under a bushel measure, at the session of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias at Knoxville last week; but the representatives of the Twentieth Century Lodge commanded that august body of Pythians to see Clarksville as it is. Extensive movements are already on foot to make the Grand Lodge visit pleasant, and the largest attendance in the history of the fraternity is expected.
Beaming beatific beams and with hearts bent on pleasure, several merry picnickers from this city went to Hampton Station last Thursday morning to the annual outing of the Fin-de-Siele Club. The day seemed prone with many disappointments. Instead of arriving at the grounds on the first train passing, the merry-makers were relegated to the second, making them one hour and forty minutes nearer the meridian. Frozen desserts orderd, passed by in full view of the management, and came on the Clarksville express office, much to the discomfort of those present. The string band failed to show up; but the goose-bone man was there with a variety of weather that will not be forgotten soon. Not being satisfied with the first drenching rain, the elements made a second and more potent descent, causing some no doubt, to recall the Biblical recital of Noah and his ark. Night, however, gave relief to those clad in white, who had been without proper rain protection.
The announcement of the death of Mrs. Carrie Warfield which occurred last Sunday in her home in this city, will be received with sincere regret not only by relatives and friends of this place, but by relatives and acquaintances in distant communities. The services for the dead were said last Tuesday afternoon before a sorrowing crowd that taxed the capacity of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, with Rev. E. H. Smith officiating. Internment was at Golden Hill Cemetery.
Simple funeral services were said. [this next section of text missing from my photocopy]

Rev. and Mrs. Reed are at Jefferson.
Mrs. Eva Sneed has returned to the city to spend a few weeks.

- Arrrrgh: Fox News Channel used a joke picture of President Obama sitting with a man in full buccaneer regalia to suggest Thursday that the president was more interested in meeting with a pirate than in conducting foreign policy.
The network later tweeted a clarification to the blooper, made three times on the "Fox & Friends" morning show.
The picture depicted Obama sitting in the Oval Office with a man in a colorful pirate outfit, complete with a red hat, eye patch and hook for a right arm. It was taken as a punch line for a joke Obama delivered to the White House Correspondents Association dinner in 2009 about the administration talking to enemies as well as friends.
The picture resurfaced Wednesday when the Obama campaign tweeted it for International Talk Like a Pirate Day. The tweet linked to the picture with the message: "Arrr You In?"
Over an on-screen graphic that said "Arrrgh You Kidding?" Fox ran the picture Thursday morning with host Brian Kilmeade saying, "The White House doesn't have the time to meet with the prime minister of Israel, but this pirate got a sit-down in the Oval Office yesterday."
Later, with "yo-ho-ho" music in the background, Fox showed the picture as its "Shot of the Morning," with host Steve Doocy saying, "Here's a quick look at what President Obama is up to, making sure he didn't forget to mark International Talk Like a Pirate Day."
"Fox & Friends" also showed the picture, along with others of the president meeting with Jay-Z and Beyonce and appearing on David Letterman's "Late Show" on Tuesday. The headline was "Too busy for Israel" and Fox also showed twin pictures of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and an empty chair.
"He's getting the Clint Eastwood treatment - the empty chair," Doocy said.
Analyst Peter Johnson Jr., calling the president "Broadway Barack Obama," said that "it seems like foreign policy is taking a back seat."
After the show ended, the "Fox & Friends" Twitter feed noted that the pirate picture was from 2009.
Doocy also tweeted: "By the way, our picture of the president with the pirate was from 2009. How time flies!"
Fox had no additional comment.

Alumnus Launches Medical Goods Company for the Elderly and Disabled
Whether we've watched it happen to a loved one or gone through it ourselves, we all know that growing old is hard.
Stevens alumnus Vadim Gordin '07 is doing all he can to make the aches and pains of aging easier with a start-up company, Rise Assistive Devices, which designs and manufactures thoughtful and elegant mechanical devices which minimize the effect various disabilities have on the quality of life of the elderly and disabled.
Gordin was inspired to found Rise Assistive Devices by his own family's experience with aging.
"When my grandmother's osteoarthritis took a turn for the worse and I started looking for gadgets and devices that could minimize the impact of her disability on day-to-day life," said Gordin. "To my dismay, what I found were poorly designed, cheaply made and terribly overpriced devices."
Gordin, who earned his B.E. in biomedical engineering from Stevens and his J.D. in intellectual property law from Capital University Law School, read every journal article he could find about the biomechanics of the elderly and spent lots of time interviewing and observing his grandmother and her friends. He then presented four prototype devices to an investor who agreed to provide seed funding to the company.
"His investment allowed me to work full-time on perfecting my designs and my pitch deck, which I've taken on the angel investor circuit around New York City for the past five months," said Gordin.
Today, Gordin works full time out of his home base at the Launchpad Long Island incubator, doing essentially all of the business and operations functions necessary to run a company. His only employees are a part-time engineer and an intern who works on production sourcing and market research.
"You name it, I'm doing it," Gordin said. "I'm CEO, CTO, CFO, COO, receptionist, engineer lead, engineering assistant, product manager, marketing analyst, cleaning crew, coffee brewer, etc. Entrepreneurs at this phase don't have the luxury of titles."
On Sept. 15, 2013, Gordin will launch a IndieGoGo campaign to generate crowd sourced funding for his first product, EasyFork, an ergonomic utensil for people suffering from arthritis – a condition which affects 50 million people in the United States alone. He hopes the campaign raises at least $20,000 to fund the first production run of EasyFork, while also creating market awareness of his company and connecting him to retailers and distributors who would be interested in other products for the elderly and disabled.
This isn't Gordin's first entrepreneurial venture. After passing the bar exam, he opened his own patent prosecution practice which provided patent, trademark and copyright services for individuals and small business. He also had a minor entrepreneurial success with a device called the Lens Loop, a type of camera strap for photographers, which he also funded through a crowd funding campaign.
And Gordin is used to being busy. At Stevens, he was a record-holder, captain and MVP on the varsity swimming team, vice president of Stevens Hillel, pledge master for Sigma Nu fraternity, and a student researcher on projects to model crash dynamics of infant car seats and build a wheelchair lower-limb amputees and paraplegics. That was all while earning dean's list honors.
Gordin said Stevens gave him the tools he needed to succeed as an entrepreneur.
"I came away with the problem-solving toolset needed to effectively design solutions when I saw a need," he said.
You can sign up for updates on the EasyFork project at EasyFork.net. Vadim Gordin can be reached at [email protected].

Missing pregnant women
The ex-boyfriend of a Maui woman who was five months pregnant when she disappeared in February has been indicted on charges of killing her and torching her SUV to cover up the crime.
Steven Capobianco, 24, was expected to be served with an arrest warrant Monday at Maui Community Correctional Center, where he has been held since last month in an unrelated case, said a person familiar with the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity. The person wasn't authorized to talk publicly about the case.
A Maui grand jury on Friday indicted Capobianco on a second-degree murder charge in the death of 27-year-old Carly Scott, who has never been found.
Capobianco is the father of Scott's unborn child and has adamantly denied hurting her.
Family members last saw Scott in February at her sister's Haiku home. The Makawao woman's burned 1997 Toyota 4Runner was later found on the island's north shore.
Capobianco also was indicted on a third-degree arson charge.
According to a copy of the indictment obtained by The Associated Press, Capobianco intentionally or knowingly caused Scott's death "in an especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel manner, manifesting exceptional depravity" during the period from Feb. 9 to Feb. 13.
During that period, he also set fire to Scott's property, the indictment said.
Before the vehicle was located, police found Scott's dog in the nearby community of Nahiku. They later began investigating her disappearance as a homicide.
Capobianco has told Hawaii News Now that he saw Scott on the night her family says she vanished but he had nothing to do with her disappearance.
He said Scott picked him up and drove him to his pickup truck, which had broken down in Keanae. He said that after he fixed his truck, Scott was driving behind him, but he lost sight of her and figured she arrived safely at her destination.
Capobianco couldn't be reached for comment Monday at the jail, where he's being held on $500,000 bail on charges including terroristic threatening and prohibited deadly weapons. His public defender couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
The bench warrant sets bail at $2 million for the murder and arson charges.

Q. Why can't I find my favorite Art of Tea product on your website?
A. There are numerous reasons why certain teas or teaware may become discontinued or temporarily unavailable. It could be because it was a seasonal tea, or we might not be able to source specific teas or ingredients necessary to make the blend (whether it be because of weather or climate conditions, price or scarcity of ingredients), or it could just be that it isn't a big mover for us, and we are clearing space for an even more exciting tea or blend. In any case, use the search box found at the upper righthand corner of the Art of Tea website to check the availability of a product. You can also use this tool to search the entire site for specific tea ingredients.
Q. Will my favorite seasonal tea be back next year?
A. While we do try our best to bring back our most popular seasonal teas each year, we can't always be sure. Often seasonal teas and blends are dependent on availability of certain ingredients and subject to harvesting and weather conditions that may be outside of our control.
Q. What does "organic certified" mean?
A. A tea qualifies as "certified organic" when it's been grown, processed and handled within the parameters of certain established international standards whose requirements include exclusive use of: purified garden soils, approved organic fertilizers & pest controls, processing methods, packaging, labeling, shipping, storage, handling, traceability and re-packing. All organic processes must be certified by an international agency and are strictly monitored. Our teas are certified by CCOF and we currently have the largest variety of organic tea blends available for purchase in the US.
Q. Are all of your teas organic certified?
A. Currently, about 85% of our teas are organic certified. Here are a few reasons why some of our selections cannot be certified organic: in most cases, it is because we are sourcing ingredients from small farms who cannot afford to pay for the certification, some ingredients in our blends may not be organic compliant or the tea is a seasonal offering and will only be offered for a short amount of time so we don't process the paperwork for organic certification.
Q. What does "fair trade certified" mean?
A. Fair trade practices help producers in under-developed countries have greater opportunities to acquire the resources they need to improve their livelihood by promoting fair wages for workers, building schools and hospitals, creating cultural centers, promoting gender equality and fighting against child labor in tea producing areas.
Q. Are all of your teas fair trade certified?
A. We are continuously improving our tea selections to include as many fair trade ingredients as possible. Right now, about 30% of our teas are fair trade certified and that number keeps growing!
Q. Are your teas Kosher?
A. All of our teas, tisanes, flavored or unflavored are Kosher. We have periodic Kosher certification inspections to ensure we meet the strict Orthodox Union standards.
Q. Where does tea come from?
A. All varietals of tea (black, green, oolong, white, & pu-erh) come from the camellia sinensis plant, which grows mainly in tropical and sub-tropical climates. What makes each tea different is how they are grown, harvested and processed.
Q. How many varietals of the camellia sinensis plant are there?
A. There are 3 principal varietals of the camellia sinensis plant that are used to cultivate tea: camellia sinensis sinensis (China, Japan), camellia sinensis assamica (India, Sri Lanka), and camellia sinensis cambod. From these main varietals, there are thousands of sub-varietals.
Q. What about Rooibos, Yerba Mate, and other herbals?
A. Technically, any "tea" that does not come from the camellia sinensis plant isn't actually a "tea" at all. These herbs fit into their own categories. Rooibos, or "red tea", comes from a South African bush. Rooibos, just like most herbal hot water infusions, is naturally caffeine free, yet it contains many of the same beneficial properties associated with tea and is part of the legume family. Yerba Mate and Guayusa are closely related cousins from the holly family and are native to South America. Yerba Mate and Guayusa have a slightly higher caffeine content than tea but not as much as coffee.
Q. What is the shelf life of your teas?
A. We give an 18 month shelf life to our unflavored teas and about 12 months to our flavored teas. Teas with natural flavor additives will have their flavor diminish over time, but do not expire. The shelf life of tea is largely dependent on how the tea is stored. Keeping your teas away from light, heat, and moisture will ensure the highest quality and longest shelf stability.
Q. How much tea should I use per cup?
A. The amount of tea recommended per cup varies by the type of tea being brewed. Please click on the following link for a chart featuring the various steeping times.
Q. Can I steep my tea more than once?
A. Many teas can and should be re-steeped. In many cases, the flavor profile will be unique with each steeping. Re-steeping is not necessarily recommended for tisanes. You should also only re-steep within the first couple of hours of the first infusion.
Q. Can I request a catalog?
A. In an effort to remain environmentally cautious, we currently do not offer printed catalogs. We encourage you to browse our online store for listings of our entire product line and descriptions of all of our teas.
Q. What is the best way to store my tea?
A. Teas are best stored dry, kept as air tight as possible, out of direct sunlight, and away from heat. Tea will absorb any surrounding aromas and can also be damaged by UV light. Our foil-lined re-sealable Kraft bags are an excellent way to store your tea.
Q. What kind of teas do you carry?
A. We carry a full line of teas including White, Green, Oolong, Black, Pu-erh, Tisanes and Ayurvedic teas. To learn more about the difference between the different types of teas, please visit our Learn About Tea page.
Q. What is Matcha?
A. Matcha is made from a shade grown green tea, known as Gyokuro, which is carefully steamed and meticulously dried. After the steaming process, the leaves are separated from the stems. The leaves alone, called tencha , are grounded into a powder called matcha. It is prepared by whisking the tea powder with hot water in a ceramic bowl. Matcha is the primary form of tea used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. The sweet flavor of matcha is due to the amount of amino acids present in the tea and the higher the quality, the sweeter and deeper the flavor is.
Q. Are your teas Gluten free?
A. All of our teas are gluten free, although not all of our teas, botanicals and other ingredients come from gluten free certified suppliers.
Q. Do any of your teas contain nuts?
A. None of our teas contain nuts. As with gluten free, not all of our teas, botanicals or other ingredients come from certified nut free suppliers.
Q. How many calories are in a cup of tea?
A. A cup of unflavored tea has 0 calories.
A trace amount of calories may come from the fruit and or flavorings that are added.
Q. Do your teas contain any dairy/lactose/soy products?
A. The following tea blends have white chocolate containing dairy in them: Brewed Awakening and Vanilla Berry Truffle. The following tea blends do not have dairy although the chocolate is produced on equipment that has produced milk or soy products: Chocolate Monkey, Velvet, and Aztec Spice. Our Blueberry Cheesecake tisane contains a natural flavor additive with dairy components.
Q. What is the difference between natural and artificial flavoring?
A. Both flavorings are made in a laboratory by a trained professional, a flavorist, by blending either natural chemicals or synthetic chemicals to create a flavor. Natural flavors are those that are derived from nature and have not undergone any extreme physical processing conditions during development. Artificial flavors are essentially man made. Many artificial flavors contain natural ingredients as well as synthetically manufactured flavor material.

Administrative / Biographical History
Harold Arthur Lee was born on the 24th of January 1844. He was educated at a private school at Eltham in Kent and at Bonn University. He passed the army examination in 1862, joined the Rifle Brigade and was promoted to lieutenant in 1866. He served in India and Canada during the Fenian troubles of 1868-1871. He left the regular army in 1874, but was promoted to captain in the Oxfordshire Light Infantry. He retired with the rank of major 1891. In 1892 he succeeded his father as Viscount Dillon. On leaving the army Dillon became interested in modern military subjects such as equipment and dress, this eventually led him to the history of arms and armour and medieval costume.
Dillon traced hundreds of illuminated manuscripts and illustrated works and made a series of brass rubbings. He concentrated on sword hilts, armour and horse trappings, and skilfully copied them. His first works were published shortly after he left the army. These articles related to his home, Ditchley in Oxfordshire and described flint tools excavated from the area and objects from the collections in the house. He published many articles on the subjects of arms and army and military history which appeared in academic journals such as the Archaeological Journal and Archaeologia as well as journals of popular and military general interest such as Antiquary and Colburne's United Service Magazine. He would also write on the subjects of arms and armour in pictures, on monuments and in Shakespeare, on tournaments, military equipment, soldier's arms, equipment and life. His first major undertaking was a revised edition of F W Fairholt's two volume Costume in England, published in 1885. Three years later he published a paper on the sections of the great 1547 Inventory of the possessions of Henry VIII.
Many of Dillon's articles appeared under his own name, but he would sometimes use the pseudonym 'Armadillo.' The animal was so closely linked with Lord Dillon that the designer of a commemorative medal produced for the National Portrait Gallery used an image of an armadillo for the reverse of a medal bearing the portrait of Lord Dillon. Before Dillon's appointment as curator of the Armouries the responsibility for the collection fell to a series of War Office storekeepers, the majority of which considered it 'job done' if they could hand over a checked inventory to their successors. Although Dillon was associated with the Armouries from 1892 serving as the consultant scientific expert, he was not officially appointed curator of the Armoury in the Tower of London until 1895. He was tasked with producing an up-to-date catalogue of the collection. As curator he was able to reduce historic inaccuracies that had built up over 25 or so years.
In 1827 Samuel Meyrick had brought expert knowledge to the collection, but it had then fallen into the hands of the War Office storekeepers and unfortunately most his work was lost. Labels were misplaced, and suits wrongly mounted and erroneous traditions were established for public amusement. His research led him through the State Papers, especially those of the Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. He discovered interesting and valuable details about the making and issue of arms and armour. Dillon dismantled nearly every piece of armour in the collection to see how it was worn and the reason for certain constructional details. Most of the pieces were those of Henry VIII. Dillon even tried them on himself to see how the rivets and the joints of the harness worked. He discovered that many of the suits had been wrongly assembled. This enabled Dillon to rectify countless inaccuracies. He also examined the internal mechanisms of the crossbow, pistol and gunlocks. In 1910 Dillon's Illustrated Guide to the Armouries was published. This is a summary catalogue of the arms and armour as he had arranged and exhibited them, and the various manuscript inventories of the collection. Dillon carried out a complete reorganisation of the collection in preparation for the new catalogue, and made a detailed examination of all the major pieces as well as identifying a number of those with important historical associations, and corrected inaccuracies. The catalogue was more in the format of a guided tour rather than a systematic catalogue. Dillon considered his task to be one of preserving and studying a closed collection rather than expanding it and spreading knowledge of it outside the Tower. He believed that if one were in charge of a government collection one should not be a collector.
Dillon owned only two pieces of European armour, a breastplate and a peculiar type of morion helmet. Once he purchased a 15th century dagger at a fair price and was able to sell it on at quite a profit, and he donated the profits to War Charities. He believed that books were meant to be of practical use, not just ornamental. His two significant acquisitions were a pistol of Prince Charles, purchased in 1898 and a part visor of King Henry VII found in St James' Palace in 1906. One of his most valuable contributions was the Armourer's Album which appeared for sale in Paris and by Dillon's efforts was purchased and preserved in the Victoria & Albert Museum. In the album there are a number of watercolour drawings of suits of armour of the Elizabethan period that were made at Greenwich, many of which were in the Tower, together with the names of the owners. This proved invaluable for establishing provenance and for identifying pieces in the Tower, Windsor and other private collections.
Dillon retired from his post of Curator in 1912, handing the Armouries over to Charles ffoulkes. He left the Armouries on its way to becoming a modern museum. A catalogue had been completed, a programme of inspections of loans had been established, and regular inventory checks were carried out. Armour and weapons were displayed according to the techniques of the day, with labels and a guidebook describing the displays. Dillon received an honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law from the University of Oxford and the Order of Companion of Honour by the King in 1921. He served as a trustee to the British Museum, secretary to the Royal Commission on Westminster Abbey, President of the Royal Archaeological Institute of the Wallace Collection, Trustee and Chairman of the Board of the National Portrait Gallery, Honorary Member of the Armourers and Brasiers' Company of London, Fellow of the British Academy and Antiquary of the Royal Academy. Harold Arthur Lee Dillon died 18 December 1932.

At long last, but still six months ahead of the film's release, the first pics from "The Green Hornet" have dropped, and frankly they're a little meh...
Make no mistake, we're still looking forward to "The Green Hornet." But one photo is basically a slack-jawed Seth Rogen in a suit. The other one is at least a little more dynamic, with GH and Kato running from an explosion, but it's still pretty generic.
There's been a ton of chatter about this film being a mess, and we're none to pleased with the idea of suffering through another 3D conversion, but with Michel Gondry directing and a cast that includes Rogen, Cameron Diaz, Christoph Waltz and Edward James Olmos, we're gonna give 'em the benefit of the doubt.

Man survives nearly 20 hours trapped under snowmobile
Incident occurred in Aroostook County
The Maine Warden Service said a Massachusetts snowmobiler survived nearly 20 hours trapped under a snowmobile in northern Maine.
Wardens said they got a call at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday that Paul Lessard, 64, of Milford, Mass., was overdue from a snowmobile ride.
Officials said Lessard left a rental camp in Fort Kent earlier in the day and planned to meet a friend for dinner.
Wardens began checking out businesses in the area that Lessard was known to frequent.
They determined he had been at a Fort Kent Arctic Cat dealer at 10 a.m. Tuesday and planned to ride into the Deboullie area.
Wardens then searched by snowmobile, checking possible routes of travel, area campsites and ponds in the Deboullie area.
Wardens traveled nearly 110 miles with a wind chill index near zero degrees. Heavy snow squalls made for poor visibility and diminished any chance of tracking Lessard.
After searching until 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, wardens organized a search plan that included additional wardens and a Warden Service aircraft. Also assisting in the search effort was local guide George Turner, Joe Kelly from Joe's Country Store, and Phil and Tyler Corriveau from Corriveau Arctic Cat.
While on their way to meet wardens, Phil and Tyler Corriveau located Lessard at 7:45 a.m. Wednesday.
Lessard was found trapped beneath his overturned snowmobile in a ditch with running water, according to wardens.
Lessard was conscious and showed signs of hypothermia, officials said.
Wardens said Lessard had been trapped since noon Tuesday.
He was taken to Northern Maine Medical Center in Fort Kent for treatment.
