The goal of the Catalysis and Biocatalysis program is to drive innovation in the production of the myriad of goods and services that are derived from catalyst-driven reactions. Research in this program encompasses a blend of fundamental, engineering research drivers that are interdisciplinary in nature. Studies should focus on the catalysis of one or more use-inspired chemical reactions with products including fuels, energy, feedstocks, fine chemicals, bulk chemicals and specialized materials. While proposals will be accepted in any of the above areas, an emphasis will be placed on proposals addressing the significant existing challenges in producing products for the service of mankind.
Proposals which receive funding in this program should include the following broad scopes: catalyst synthesis, behavior and performance; kinetics and mechanisms of key catalytic reactions; catalysis at surfaces or in reactor process streams; synthesis and fabrication of component materials and catalyst composites; modeling and fundamental studies of a catalyst or catalytic process; and, catalyst performance assessment in relevant modes.
The future portfolio of catalysis projects will continue to emphasize:
Projects that are interdisciplinary in nature may be jointly funded with other CBET and NSF programs.
NOTE: Proposals centered on the enzymatic or inorganic catalysis aspect of the biomass or photocatalysis or electrocatalysis energy conversion process, or proposals that use catalysis as the main tool for interconversion, should be submitted to this program. For proposals focusing on biological and genetic aspects, consider submitting to Biotechnology, Biochemical, and Biomass Engineering (CBET 1491). If the proposal focuses on the reaction engineering aspects of the interconversion, submit to Process and Reaction Engineering (CBET 1403). If the emphasis is on the renewable energy system as a whole, or the sustainable aspects of renewable energy, submit to Energy for Sustainability (CBET 7644). Keep in mind that the involved program directors will review the submissions and may transfer your proposal to give it the best review situation.
Innovative proposals outside of these specific interest areas can be considered. However, prior to submission, it is recommended that the PI contact the Program Director to avoid the possibility of the proposal being returned without review.
The duration of unsolicited awards is generally one to three years. The typical award size for the program is around $110,000 per year. Proposals requesting a substantially higher amount than this, without prior consultation with the Program Director, may be returned without review.
Proposals should address the novelty and/or potentially transformative nature of the proposed work compared to previous work in the field. Also, it is important to address why the proposed work is important in terms of engineering science, as well as to also project the potential impact on society and/or industry of success in the research. The novelty or potentially transformative nature of the research should be included, as a minimum, in the Project Summary of each proposal.
Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program proposals are strongly encouraged. Award duration is five years. The submission deadline for Engineering CAREER proposals is in July every year. Please see the CAREER URL here for more information.
Proposals for Conferences, Workshops, and Supplements: PIs are strongly encouraged to discuss their requests with the Program Director before submission of the proposal.
Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) are also considered when appropriate. Please note that proposals of these types must be discussed with the program director before submission. Further details are available in the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) download found here. Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) proposals that integrate fundamental research with translational results and are consistent with the application areas of interest to each program are also encouraged. Please note that GOALI proposals must be submitted during the annual unsolicited proposal window for each program. More information on GOALI can be found here.
COMPLIANCE: Proposals which are not compliant with the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) will be returned without review.
Unsolicited proposals received outside of the Announced Proposal Window dates will be returned without review.

An interesting image of what is supposedly a new Mac Pro was sent to several Mac sites on Sunday, including The Mac Observer. There's no context, there's no additional information, and there's zero track record with the anonymous sender, but it's an interesting image.
The blurry text in the image says,
Mac Pro
with Dual GPU and Thunderbolt 2
gigantic graphics power and file transfers in a zip
As noted in the caption, the image came to us via a tweet, and it was from a brand new account clearly created with the intent of spreading this image, mcpro456. The sender has not replied to our requests for more information.
As such, we are in no way endorsing this as a bona fide leak, and we further suggest you examine it with a great big bag of salt on hand so that you can take a grain at a time as needed.
But, it's an interesting image. We've been teased by Apple CEO Tim Cook himself that a new Mac Pro would come out in 2013, and another Apple exec reportedly said that it would be worth the wait.
It's 2013, of course, but few are expecting Apple to announce a new Mac Pro at the company's World Wide Developer Conference, which starts on Monday, June 10th (tomorrow). There has been informed speculation that it is the new Mac Pro that will be built in a new Apple factory in Texas, and building out this new facility is part of the reason we've been waiting so long for a new model.
We mention this because the image appears to be of a webpage. If it is a leaked image from inside Apple, having a webpage mockup to leak suggests an imminent release, but again, this device hasn't been the source of the usual spate of rumors that precedes new Apple products.
Accordingly, it seems much more likely that this is a brilliant mockup by an Apple fan. If so, delivering it as a supposed screenshot is an absolutely genius way of doing so.
On the other hand, it would be pretty darned awesome if it was real. If so, we'll know in less than 24 hours (as of this writing).

The Alfa MiTo is one of the most intriguing superminis. It looks interesting. It has a fair bit of flair in its cabin. The petrol engines are really striking, with clever technology imparting tax-beating CO2 and a fair bit of driving fizz.
First drive: new Alfa Romeo MiTo
Italian supermini gets new high-power two-cylinder engine, but does it remain an oddball choice?
But the MiTo still gets forgotten against things like the Citroen DS3 and Mini. Maybe it's the generally low profile Alfa has had these past few years – one of the tiniest ranges of cars of any manufacturer. Maybe the 4C will help remind people Alfa does still exist.
Anyway, the MiTO has just had a tiny facelift. It has also now has another option in the line of enigmatic engines.
This time it's another version of the tiny 875cc TwinAir, making some 105bhp, which means adaquate performance in a supermini that squeezes under 100g/km. Stick the DNA switch into 'dynamic' to get the full beans, but pull it back to 'normal' to reduce the boost, and help get better economy. Even so, you won't make the official 67mpg because it's too tempting to over-drive it.
The usual endearing TwinAir chugga-chugga noises emanate from the bonnet, and the usual wide torque spread makes it an easy engine to get along with once you've got used to two strange quirks. Firstly you need to be handy with the clutch and throttle when launching from rest to avoid an annoying cough. Second, it's so happy to rev that it's too easy to bump the very strict 6000rpm rev limiter.
The light nose weight of the two-cylinder car makes it glide more smoothly over potholes than early MiTos did. Even so a badly heaving road – like the ones we call B-roads in Britain – will sometimes catch it on the hop. The steering too is nicer on this one than on the originals, with better self-centring and good feel, if a bit of rubber somewhere in the system.
All in it's a playful little car to throw around.
There's a new optional dashboard moulding that fades from black on top to red in the vertical section. All a bit teenage bedroom. But the standard interior has had some nice material upgrades, and better seats. It's better than the mass-market norm. There's also a new neatly integrated centre-dash media/TomTom screen.
Standard procedure Alfa review then: not the most rational car in the segment, but a likeable one.

Paul Young
Bachelor of Arts, Bible, 1970, Columbia International University
Independent Missionary
Cape Town, South Africa
Columbia International University helped me get what I wanted out of life – and that was to not waste it! Because of the lessons I learned and the skills I developed at CIU, God was able to "draw" me into the ministry.
As a sophomore in college, I began to incorporate my passion for preaching with my love for drawing. What began as part of a required outreach is now called Chalk Art Ministry, and was birthed and fanned into flame at CIU. Now I give "chalk talks" in the churches, prisons, and schools of South Africa. Drawing while I'm speaking grabs the listeners' attention and illustrates powerful spiritual truths; it also aids the audience in remembering what was taught.
South African public schools, among the most dangerous in the world, are filled with chaos and violence. Yet God continues to open doors for me to preach using chalk art. He is using me to preach "the uncompromised gospel," as one principal put it, and lives are being radically transformed by it. I have seen suicidal students realize that life has meaning and purpose because of Christ. Broken families have been restored by the power of forgiveness. But most importantly, children and adults have been brought from death to life by God's gracious work in their hearts.
CIU prepared me for the thrilling ministry opportunities God has given me over the past 40 years – it's been anything but a waste!

Biomass protest banner vandalized, police sayBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | January 21,2013
SPRINGFIELD — Springfield police are investigating the vandalism of a large sign protesting the proposed wood-fired power plant in North Springfield.
Springfield Police Chief Douglas Johnston said last week the large sign, which he said measures 48 square feet, was vandalized at a home on French Meadow Road.
The sign said "Biomass? No Thanks! Not in Vermont."
He refused to identify who owned the banner, but said it was featured during a gathering the previous weekend about the proposed North Springfield Sustainable Energy Project.
The backers of the project are Winstanley Enterprises and Weston Solutions Inc. Winstanley is already a large landowner in Springfield, since it owns the former Fellows Corp. headquarters in the North Springfield Industrial Park. The wood-fired generator would be built next to the Fellows headquarters.
Hearings on the proposed project are slated to begin in February before the Public Service Board.
The police chief also said similar signs, protesting the proposed project, had been stolen from various locations in North Springfield in the past several months.
Randall Susman, a professor of anatomical sciences at Stony Brook University in New York and a part-time Springfield resident, said his sign had been ripped off its metal rebar posts.
He said a neighbor noticed the sign had been vandalized. Originally, he said, he thought the wind had blown it down, but further investigation revealed the vandalism.
"I purposely put the sign up near the VAST trail as it passes through my property so people were sure to see it," said Susman in an email Friday. "I guess that was a two-edged sword because the genius who apparently had too much time on his hands Monday night didn't even have to walk the 100 yards from the road."
"I have no idea who might have come onto my property to take down the 12-by-4-foot banner. I don't want to point any fingers save to say that it was not an accident since the person cut some ropes that were holding up PVC reinforced by 7-foot rebar sunk into the ground," he added.
Susman said he believed it was someone outside the neighborhood, since "most of the neighbors sympathize" with the North Springfield Action Group.
He said a week ago, NoSAG had held a gathering and fundraiser, with coffee and cake, under the sign.
"It was a nice gathering for a good cause that has brought the community together even if the local politicians seem to think otherwise," he said.
Susman is a member of NoSAG, which is actively working against the project called the North Springfield Sustainable Energy Group.
He said the vandalism was disappointing. "The sign thief is small potatoes compared to the disappointment some of us feel for our local politicians who seem to have drunk the Kool-Aid and have dollar signs in their eyeballs over supposed tax revenue they think will be the salvation of Springfield. The tax revenue is nothing but a promise," said Susman.
"The good news is that the banner lives and will fly another day," he said, noting the group had reordered lawn signs as more people are getting involved.
NoSAG has hired Montpelier attorney Gerald Tarrant, a former Department of Public Service commissioner, to represent the group's concerns about air pollution, noise, and truck traffic before the board.

Severe Weather
Winter weather Dangerous weather can include thunderstorms, lightning, tornadoes and winter storms. Stay alert to weather conditions and seek shelter if threatening weather approaches.
Weather advisories
- A watch means conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather. Monitor the situation closely if the weather deteriorates.
- A warning means severe weather has actually been observed and is imminent. Seek shelter immediately.
Weather warnings
Tornado warnings are issued by the National Weather Service when a tornado is approaching the area. City warning sirens will sound a tone (3 long wails) that a tornado is approaching and people should take shelter immediately. Emergency alerts will be sent to cell phones, campus email and campus telephones.
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings are issued by NWS when a thunderstorm is reported within our immediate area. Warning sirens sound a tone (3 long wails) that a thunderstorm is nearby and people who are outside should seek shelter inside. Emergency alerts will be sent to cell phones, campus email and campus telephones.
Link to weather.com
Severe weather tips
- Have a good flashlight on hand.
- In a thunderstorm, no place outside is safe. A substantially constructed building offers the best protection.
- Stay away from telephones, electrical appliances and plumbing.
- If you hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning. Find safe shelter immediately.
A winter storm in Western North Carolina can last for several days and disrupt travel, utilities and other services.
Plan for the worst and have adequate clothing, food and water ready before it is needed.
Driving in winter weather is particularly treacherous during this time, where there is little snow-removal equipment available. Stay off the roads as much as possible.

|Four Arrows (aka Don Trent Phillips, Ph.D.)
The Doerr Center for Social Justice Education and Research hosted more than 160 students, faculty and community members in the Anheuser-Busch Auditorium for Social Justice Night 2011. The evening, titled "Differing Worldviews of Social Justice Education," featured distinguished scholars Four Arrows (aka Don Trent Phillips, Ph.D.) and Walter Block, Ph.D.
In their first face-to-face presentation, Four Arrows, an environmental and social justice activist/scholar, and Block, a libertarian economist, engaged in a student-facilitated conversation before a live audience. The speakers shared their personal social justice philosophies and the challenges of co-authoring a book based on cooperative argumentation.
Block and Four Arrows shared their belief of the importance of engaging in cooperative argumentation and the role of the academy in modeling opportunities that reduce the polarization happening in the current political arena.
The audience played an active role in shaping the dialogue by engaging in a question-and-answer session that moved the discussion from theory to practice. Together, audience and speakers explored the practical applicability of listening for understanding and cooperative argumentation.
Using the theoretical basis behind the indigenous and libertarian worldviews, both scholars were able to actively provide suggestions and ideas for overcoming the differences that exist between uncommon allies.
|Walter Block, Ph.D.
"I enjoyed watching Four Arrows and Dr. Block attempt to analyze the actual reasoning underlying their positions," said Dan Emmanuel, a master's ofsocial work student who attended the event. "It was a refreshing change from the tedious rhetoric that has come to dominate American politics and culture. The world would be a better place if everyone understood that the purpose of argument is to gain understanding through the rigorous examination of all beliefs, especially our own. What we saw last night was just a brief glimpse of what can be accomplished when people start to look past their personal feelings and truly engage in critical thinking."

Stults back where it started with Padres
NEW YORK Under some ugly conditions, it was here that Eric Stults and the Padres really began to forge a beautiful relationship.
Pulled off the waiver wire little more than a week earlier, Stults started a road game against the New York Mets on May 24, a game that was delayed after two innings for more than an hour by a rainstorm. Stults went back out for the re-start, threw three more innings of shutout ball, allowing one hit and leaving only after a comebacker struck the triceps of his pitching arm.
The game was memorable for more reasons than one. Above all, the Padres scored 11 runs on 18 hits, an anomaly of offense in a miserable first half of the season. Stults was probably only with the Padres because, at that point, they already had 13 different players on the disabled list.
"I do like the ballpark," said Stults, rematched against the Mets for Thursday's series finale. "That wasn't a great night to pitch, but we got the win, so that makes it a great night to pitch."
Enthralled as the Padres were by the blowout, it was a lone win surrounded by nine losses. But it was also the first Padres win by Stults en route to his 8-3 record and 2.91 ERA, a couple of highlights in a season that didn't have all that many. Even so, he wasn't assured a starting role in 2013.
More than one person has told Stults that his repertoire and pitching is somewhat reminiscent of a former left-handed pitcher who's now the Padres manager. Bud Black sees it, too.
"A little bit, yeah, a little bit," said manager Bud Black. "We're similar. Our curveballs are sort of the same. Seventy miles an hour with the big break, the 12-6. I didn't change speeds on my fastball that he does. He's got a high range, 90 down to 84. That's a gift, to be able to vary speeds on your fastball. Slider's about the same. He has a better change than I did. But similar."
Quentin no worse for wear
Carlos Quentin came out of Monday's season-opener without problem, a question only in that the sore-kneed Padres left fielder was run hard all over the outfield by Mets hitters putting the ball everywhere but right at him.
Black said.
"He didn't get tested like that in spring training," Black said. "They tested him right away, first hitter of the game, second hitter of the game, a lot of balls to the line and lot of balks to the gap. He got tested for sure."
Kelly has procedure
Padres starting pitcher Casey Kelly, a right-hander who was expected to be one of the more promising rookies in the major leagues, was reported by the team to be doing well after his ligament-replacement surgery was performed by Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Fla.
Along with Cory Luebke and Joe Wieland, Kelly's the third pitcher who likely would've been in the Padres' rotation of 2013 to undergo the "Tommy John" procedure.

- " The mattresses were comfortable, and it was nice to be upgraded to a room with an en-suite bathroom. However, the bathroom smelled strongly of mildew, and made it difficult to enjoy the ambience. We aired the room out and dealt with it for a night. The blinds were a bit tricky too, but the neighbor on the terrace across from us seemed friendly enough. "

Experts are astonished by the extraordinary beauty below the Panamanian Caribbean Sea in such dive spots as:
- The North and South Zapatillas Keys in the province of Bocas del Toro within the Bastimentos Island National Marine Park
- Old Point
- Hospital Point
- Donato
- Crawl Cay
- Popa Island
- Tiger Cay
- Wild Cane Cay
- EastWater Cay
On Colón Island, tour operators supply the necessary equipment and offer guides to safely practice this activity. Here you can go diving year-round.
The San Blas Archipelago is famous worldwide for its beautiful islands formed of coral surrounded by crystal-clear water that are perfect to go snorkeling and diving. The best months for diving are April, May, November, and December.
Portobelo Bay, Mamey Island, and Isla Grande are meeting places for divers and snorkelers. Here you will be embarking on what could be a grand adventure by diving into waters awash with history. In the 17th century this area was the scene of stormy battles among pirates and corsairs, and it is now the watery grave of the famous pirate Sir Francis Drake, who was tossed into the sea in a lead coffin. The ideal diving season is from April to May and November to December.
In the Pacific Ocean there are extensive stretches of submarine splendor, like at Coiba Island in Coiba National Park, where the longest coral reef along the Pacific coast of Central America converts the area into an enormous natural aquarium. Another option for going tankless diving or snorkeling in what will feel like a multicolor fishbowl is in Chiriquí Gulf National Marine Park, home to large species like whales and dolphins. In both sites, the best diving is had from December to March.
The closest diving sites from Panama City are found at the Contadora Islands and Taboga Island in the Pearl Archipelago. These islands offer all the facilities for diving with or without a tank.
The coral reefs at Iguana Island Wildlife Refuge are perfectly conserved and easily observable just below the surface, making it an excellent and calm place for diving or snorkeling. At Granito de Oro on Coiba Island the diver will have the fascinating experience of swimming right next to numerous large fish.
For a one-of-a-kind diving destination, head to the waters near the Panama Canal, specifically in Gatún and Alajuela lakes. Here the attraction of the dive is found in the depths of the waterway, where you will be able to spot the remains of the first pan-isthmian train and the ancient dredges that excavated the canal bed.

Design Toscano has something for everyone, no matter what they might be looking for. Many customers love our large Buddha statue and have one in a meditation garden for peace and serenity. To add another element to this serenity, we have the Grand Buddha Meditation Fountain adding the sound of water to your peaceful space. This fountain is 38 ½ inches tall and has water cascading over a figure of the meditative Buddha. The pool at the bottom of the fountain is lit so that it can be appreciated on a warm summer's evening.
Many of our customers are owners of our slow moving guy, the tortoise statue. Now you can own the crazy rabbit that he raced against. Carotene, the Bunny Rabbit Garden Statue is a fabulous rabbit that stands a foot and a half tall. He is hand painted in white and has a carrot in his mouth and in case he eats that one he is carrying some for later. Like all of our animal statues, he is done in great detail and is incredibly cute.
We have many statues of large animals like our outdoor elephant statues and our tall giraffe statues; these are all great representations of living animals. If, however, you would like something not as ordinary in your yard take a look at the T-Rex Dinosaur Garden Sculpture. Just like all our other animals, he is lifelike and seems to be living in your garden today. Won't your neighbors be surprised.

Class of 2013: Where are they going and What are they doing?
Career opportunities for chemists have never been greater. As a chemist, you could find yourself working in an environmental laboratory protecting our environment, in a pharmaceutical company synthesizing new medicines or in a company developing new processes to manufacture the materials society needs to funciton.
According to the most recent annual salary and employment survey conducted by the American Chemical Society (Chemical and Engineering News, 2014):
- The median salary for chemists is $95,000
- 52% of chemists work in industry
- 39% work in academia
- 7.5% work in the government
The majority of chemists work in the industry. A 2008 survey found that more than 62% of chemists are employed by industry (including more than 82% of respondents with a bachelor's as their highest degree), whereas 29% are in academia and less than 8% have government jobs. The survey found that the greatest portion of nonacademic chemists, 26.9%, work in the pharmaceutical industry.
If you are interested in a health-related field such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy or veterinary medicine, a degree in chemisty, in addition to biology courses, will satisfy the curricular entrance requirements for professional schools and give you the background that sets the stage for success in these programs.
A graduate degree in chemistry prepares you to enter into leadership roles in research and development laboratories, as well as careers in academia. Generally, financial support for masters and doctoral programs in chemistry include full tuition and fees, and a stipend to teach undergraduate laboratories and/or perform research (although this varies by institution).

Whether it's Witches Abroad or Carpe Jugulum, or both even, I'm sure I've read parts about people feeling caged in their bodies, who death would be good for, and that witches could 'lead the way'.
And that quote from ISWM that Susan Hicks wrote, 'The hare jumps into the fire', seems quite relevant also.
You could perhaps count Reaper Man, but that is more so about the value of life than the end of it.
So for how long has Terry Pratchett thought about death and supported assisted Suicide?

I ordered TOD Sorceress along with Sir Laser-Lot,Mighty Spector,and Vikor on Monday right when the sale began and I haven't received shipment confirmation either,but my Wednesday purchase of Vykron and Hurricane Hordak is on it's way.
"I will use this power for all the good that can be done, to work for peace, to encourage virtue, and above all, to preserve life in all its forms..." Superman
I tried to contact them using their web form.
If I do not get an answer within a few days I might consider calling them.
I wish they would just get rid of DR/ their crappy shop software.
I had other open (pre-)orders at Amazon and AmiAmi (a Japanese online store)
and changing the payment option for an order was very easy at those stores.
Why has everything to be so difficult at Mattys store ?
I dropped TOD Sorceress from my existing order so that the rest of my order could ship and stop being held hostage. Those items shipped out overnight and will be here Tuesday.
My new order of TOD Sorceress is now In process.

Same here. It should be noted that I waited for several days to order mine, so hopefully no one has to worry about cancellations.

Mine is coming as well. Woo-hoo!
In the name of the Lloyd!
I also got a shipping notice. But I had canceled my credit card two days ago!
I wonder how this is possible? I am confused...
got mine this morning
Got mine today also! It was even canceled due to 'no inventory'...then magically reinstated...which leads me to suspect that they produced more figures to accommodate demand. This leads me to believe that Mattel/DR can re-produce any figures at any time it wants.
In any case, I will have a good Xmas this year! Woohoo!

September 17, 2013
The U.S. Census Bureau reports that, in 2011, 1 in 5 married-couple households in the U.S. had at least one spouse born in another country. Of these households, about 13% had two foreign-born spouses, and 7% had one native-born and one foreign-born spouse. See Married-Couple Households by Nativity Status: 2011, a brief that analyzes data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.

The truth of the matter is, the world has become so anti-Microsoft that they can't help but look past Ballmer's mishaps both ridiculous and egregious. Windows 8 might actually approach being the future of a desktop operating system, and it sucks that we're all too proud to admit it. Mac OS is undoubtably powerful, but still lacking in user-friendliness. And I'll be damned if I didn't wish I had a capacitive touchscreen on my Macbook Pro Retina.
Once I figured that out, suddenly Windows 8 became very cool. Using the main interface screen, you can access what you need much more quickly, plus you can dispense with keeping armies of icons on your working space or creating endless toolbars for shortcuts. To access the main screen, you just slide your pointer to the lower left-hand corner and click, and you'll quickly find the program you need. The bottom line: Windows 8 rocks.

My father used to say "good enough for government work", when he did something halfassed, and also said "close only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades and government work". Having a mother and a sister work for the government, and seeing their policies and spending, I have to agree with my father.

To get your invention into big box stores, persistence is more important than the pitch itself.
That's according to commercial realtor-turned entrepreneur Wes Johnson, whose startup, Lawson Hammock, now has its products in two: Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops.
And his goal for 2014? To keep up that persistence and nail more distributors, such as outdoors retailer REI, which tops his current wish list.
Johnson, based out of Raleigh entrepreneurial coworking space HQ Raleigh, has patented a camping tent that doubles as a ground tent.
"Basically, it started just from an interest in the outdoors," he says. "I loved camping and fly fishing, always enjoyed outdoor products and ran into some parachute-type camping hammocks when I was out and about, never ran into anything that could be used for overnight camping."
So, while working in commercial real estate, he started Lawson Hammock as a side project, raising cash from friends and family to get started.
"Luckily, with this product, we're generating sales right away," he says.
Specifically, the spreader bar – wooden in a traditional rope hammock – is collapsible. That, and the attachable rain tarp and bug netting sets his four-pound product apart, he says.
But he can say it's unique all day long.
It doesn't matter if he can't make the sale.
So, to grab the attention of Bass Pro Shops, he did say it all day long, reaching out repetitively to anyone and everyone from the retailer on social media.
"It takes a lot," he says. "They don't really give out their buyer names, so you have to be really creative."
Bass Pro Shops took over a year to see to his way of thinking – but they finally did, a few months ago.

Danny's Johnny5
See the previous post for a link to view Danny's profile, but I just have to post an image of the new J5.
Danny, great job! The J5 looks awesome and it's obvious you've put a lot of thought and planning into the bot.
4 comments:
Only one small criticism. The small pneumatic cylinders on Johnxt don't match the color scheme of the rest of the robot. I'm rally getting nitpicky here though, this is a terrific bot. I think this is probably the best NXT bots that have surfaced so far
- Jul 21, 2006, 6:40:00 AM
and, of course, they have no tubes attached to them...therefore totally non-functional.
- Jul 21, 2006, 2:41:00 PM
Ah, I totaly missed that. What is with that? Are does that mean that they don't actualy function? Than what are they there for?

Danny, you created a fantastic rendering of Johnny Five! Please, CAD it!
Regarding the pneumatic pumps... I spotted that also. I beleive they are there as an additional degree(s) of freedom. Danny mentions that the head moves side to side (for UltraSensor operation). So, maybe these pumps are there to be continued as they match the real Johnny Five's neck.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. –Dr. Amy Farrell, Dickinson College women's and gender studies professor, will discuss the stigma of being fat in the American culture as viewed through the lens of feminism, at Wilson College on Thursday, March 1, as part of a series of events recognizing National Women's History Month. "Fat Shame and Feminism," which is free and open to the public, will be held at 7 p.m. in Laird Hall's Patterson Lounge.
DATE: Feb. 13, 2012
CONTACT: Amy Ensley, Director of the Hankey Center for the Education and Advancement of Women
Phone: 717-264-4141, Ext. 3279
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
For more than 100 years, the U.S. feminist movement has had a very fraught relationship with fat, both reinforcing and challenging fat denigration in its tactics, rhetoric and social movement ideologies. In this talk, Farrell will draw from her recent book, Fat Shame: Stigma and the Fat Body in American Culture, to explore the role of fat shaming and fat activism from the time of the suffragists to the most recent body acceptance movement.
Farrell is professor of both American studies and women's and gender studies at Dickinson, where she also serves as the Curley Faculty Chair in Liberal Arts. In addition to Fat Shame, she is the author of Yours in Sisterhood: Ms. Magazine and the Promise of Popular Feminism. Farrell has appeared twice on television's "The Colbert Report" to discuss the stigma against fat people.
Farrell will also sign copies of her book at the lecture.
The lecture is sponsored by Wilson's Women's Studies Program and the Hankey Center. It will kick off a series of women's history month events, which have the theme this year of "Women's Education and Women's Empowerment." Other events will be announced soon.
For more information, contact Amy Ensley at 717-264-4141, Ext. 3279, or email@example.com.
Founded in 1869, Wilson College is a liberal arts college dedicated to the education of women. Affiliated with the Presbyterian Church and located in Chambersburg, Pa. Wilson offers bachelor's degrees in 30 areas and master's degrees in education and the humanities. The college's 2011-12 enrollment in the College for Women and the Adult Degree Programs is 746 and includes 21 students from 10 foreign countries.

DESTIN — Mentally ill Serge Storms has that murderous itch that even one of his infamous Home Depot trips can't shake and his trusted biographer is on hand to share more of his stories.
From journalist to novelist, author Tom Dorsey has kept readers in stitches — almost literally — for 15 books with his anecdotes about fictitious character Storms who murders folks up-and-down the Florida peninsula.
Working for 16 years in the newspaper business as a crime writer, Dorsey says he's not afraid to draw on old stories and use them as inspiration.
"I keep files of Florida police blotters to pull out on occasion," said Dorsey.
The Indiana-native said that he likes living in Florida, but the state spawns some strange behavior.
"I remember one story in a (Florida) paper years ago, where two people crawled into a Dumpster, only to get into a fight with two other people who were already in the Dumpster," Dorsey said.
Many — if not all of Storms' murders — are taken from the pages of Florida periodicals as well. According to Dorsey, the rest of the murderous ideas come from his mind and home improvement stores.
He says when he is about two-thirds done with a book he'll walk the aisles of Home Depot to gather the final bit of ideas for his story.
"I (think) about what could, and how things could, be used to kill someone," Dorsey said. "Home Depot was OK with it; their sales increased."
Dorsey's "Panhandle Swing" includes visits to libraries throughout Okaloosa, Walton and Leon Counties.
The author spoke to a packed house on Monday night at the Destin Library, fielding questions and promoting his most recent novel released in 2012, "Pineapple Grenade."
For those who think Dorsey is too morbid for the everyday reader, the 52-year-old doesn't really care.
"If I dislike you, you must die," Dorsey said joking. "I may not use your name, but if you read it you'd know it was you."
Dorsey often writes about neighbors he dislikes, but said that strangely enough they've never given him any negative feedback.
He said some fans have come to him, offering affirmative feedback wishing they had an avenue such as Storms to express anger toward their neighbors.
According to Dorsey, Storms is "an old school criminal," often even helping out good people. Consider him a modern-day-Floridian Robin Hood who sometimes kills people.
"Storms hates scams, and he hates people who take advantage of the elderly . . . and, well, he's in Florida, so he's busy," Dorsey said.
Dorsey told the crowd at the library he has recently shown up on the radar of an unfamiliar crowd.
"In Pinellas County, I was telling the group about ... cracking the knitting market and this little old lady was sitting there, knitting of course and without stopping or looking up she said, 'I'm knitting a straight jacket'."
"That meant a lot to me," Dorsey said laughing.

On Tuesday, April 9, the Wilson College field hockey team hosted a clinic for Special Olympic athletes as part of Wilson College's celebration of NCAA Division III week. This nationwide celebration of NCAA Division III week was designed to celebrate the unique Division III student-athlete experience, which offers a highly competitive athletic environment, a commitment to academic excellence and time to pursue other interests and passions.
In 2011, the NCAA Division III and Special Olympics formed a partnership designed to improve the lives of Special Olympics athletes through their involvement with Division III student-athletes. This continued partnership also provides a mutual learning experience between student-athletes and Special Olympics athletes. The Phoenix have teamed up with the local Franklin County Special Olympics organization in order to participate in this initiative.
During the clinic, head coach, Shelly Novak and several current field hockey players taught the fundamentals of field hockey to a group of Special Olympic athletes. According to Novak, "Our goal was to introduce something new to the Special Olympic athletes in a fun and positive environment. I think we accomplished that goal and it created a great experience for both groups of athletes."

Five essential gadgets for going off-piste
Skiiing and snowboarding can be a challenge, and dangerous, at the best of times - just staying upright and not breaking anything, for a lot of beginners, takes up the majority of your time.
However a lot of the dangers associated with the sport can increase dramatically the more advanced you get, as with new challenges come new risks. So if you've had a few years learning and are tempted to go for a bit of off-piste action, here are a gadgets that might just help you stay safe if you find yourself in a fix.
Mobile phone/walkie talkie/GPS
Anyone going off-piste should seriously think about taking some kind of communication device with them for obvious reasons.
With the advent of some very impressive smartphone apps, taking your mobile phone is now a pretty good option as many contain GPS systems. Although a dedicated Personal Locating Beacon (PLB) is a must. (See below)
However with mobile phones, especially smartphones, battery life is a consideration so something specialist might be preferable. Walkie talkies are also a good bet as they can be distributed throughout the group bringing instant communication if you go out of sight.
The Avalung comes into use when you've found yourself buried after an avalanche as it attempts to prevent CO2 accumulating in front of the victim.
If you haven't been killed by the trauma of being tossed around by tons of snow, the Avalung gives you a doggies' chance of survival by way of a mouth piece, a flap valve, an exhaust pipe and an air collector; the Avalung allows the user to draw breath over a large surface area in front and push the warm exhaled carbon dioxide behind.
*Note: Some Avalung packs are subject to a product recall due to safety issues; although this doesn't affect all devices. For more information you can visit the recall website at www.BlackDiamondEquipment.com/AvaLungRecall
ABS device
A very important piece of kit if you're going anywhere near an avalanche zone, the ABS (Avalanche Airbag System) device acts as a preventative measure, increasing your chances of avalanche survival.
The ABS system acts as a flotation device, enabling the user to rise above the snow due to the extra buoyancy provided by two airbags. These airbags can be triggered remotely by way of a light-weight carbon cartridge and there are some pretty impressive stats being bandied around as to the survival rates of people who've deployed them during an avalanche. However they're not the easiest to travel with due to restrictions on pressurised containers in aircraft.
Snow shovel
A snow shovel is an absolute must for anyone heading out into the white wilderness, as it can be used for a variety of very useful things.
Not only is this an essential tool in case a member of the party gets buried in an avalanche, but it can also be used to test the snowpack conditions. The shovel will allow frequent checking of the snow by digging to see what's under your feet; weak layers could result in a slide.
Shovels can also be used for digging emergency shelters (although if you have to spend the night it's probably not looking good) and whilst picking up snow with hands to use for drinking water is fine, it's a lot easier to use a shovel.
Transceivers, beacons and probes
These can work in tandem to find snow covered comrades. One for locating the general vicinity and the other to pinpoint.
The Personal Locating Beacons (PLB) or transceivers should be worn by every member of the team as it allows for your position to be transmitted and received by other members of the group - and vice versa if someone else happens to be the victim.
Keeping your device on transmit will mean if you get buried other team members can set theirs to receive, allowing you to be tracked. Once in the vicinity a probe (basically a long stick) is essential to work out precise position and depth, as well as deciding on the digging technique.
No amount of gadgetry can replace good preparation, and if you're new to off-piste skiiing or snowboarding make sure you have experienced members in your group - never go off alone. Get yourself onto a good forum like Snowheads and ask as many questions to as many different people as possible. They should be able to give you a good idea of where to go and what to buy.

Coldblack® finish allows the heat to be reflected unlike common dark textiles, which absorb heat, allowing the wearer to avoid overheating even during physical activity.
If you put long hours in the saddle, the CB Carbon Shorts will offer the comfort and performance you need. The CB Carbon + LYCRA® fiber side panels are treated with coldblack® that reflects heat to reduce the surface temperature of the fabric. The coldblack® treatment also offers extreme UV protection. The perforated Airgel® chamois has gel inserts that provide comfort without pooling moisture and a top layer fabric that assists in wound healing.
There is a cult in cycling. A spawning of athletes unwilling to put their bikes up for the season. Their lives co-exist with riding come rain or come shine. Their needs require details woven with simplicity. A pratical approach for a relentless breed of riders.

Ancient Egypt was one of the first big civilizations that we know of and although the dynasties of the pharaohs disappeared more than 2,000 years ago, their legacy lives on. Thousands of tourists marvel over the Great Pyramids to this day and ancient Egyptian artwork in particular is so appreciated that millions of people decorate their homes and businesses with Egyptian inspired items.
