What is Sil-A-Gel?
Sil-A-Gel is an antibacterial compound that we add to all of our Made-in-the-USA products. It is not a coating or a separate material. It is added into our material in the raw mixing phase so that the antibacterial agents are actually engrained in the product and will not wash away with use. Sil-A-Gel helps stop the spread of unwanted and potentially bad bacteria forming on your favorite products.

This past two months have been nerve-racking. But we've eventually created something to be proud of.
A group of four undergrad students. We've build a net artwork, or as programmers like to call it: a web app.
We named it avtest. In a nutshell, avtest is an interactive multimedia web app that gathers textual data via the YouTube API from either predefined or user-selected videos to create generative music and visuals. It's still a work in progress*, but it's near enough to completion to be shared to with everyone.
*It works in almost every aspect but its behaviour changes independently from platform to platform.
What does it do
On the surface, the artwork generates visuals and music when clicking on one of the 5 checkboxes or when inserting a valid link in the underlying text-box and checking the relative checkbox to its side. Each checkbox is "connected" to a YouTube video selected by our team. The text-box + checkbox option instead allows users to insert their own link to any youtube video; this has to be a special API link formatted through Google's YouTube Data API platform. We imagined most people would not be able to retrieve such info, so we've added our own links to make the artwork function without much effort.
The 20 most-recent comments from a YouTube video are displayed in a random order below the group of checkboxes. In a similar way, the "waterfall" of letters is generated using random characters from a random comment among the list of 20. The sound composition that starts about 2–5 seconds in (performance upgrades are still on our to do list!) is also generated using text from the comments, first converted into ASCII values and then into notes playing a synthesisers I personally built using the Web Audio API and other Javascript tools (libraries).
Checking into the "About" box will take you to another page where some info about our team and the project are shown.
Details and code
I created and programmed the sound composition and designed the website (HTML, CSS, text, DOM elements, etc). The rest of the team has worked on setting up the data-retrieving system and designing the visuals.
The music composition is created using two javascript libraries: Tone.js and tonal. I have used Tone.js to build the sound of the synthesiser playing the notes. It's a polyphonic synth with long decay and sustain. A chain of effects — delay, reverb, compressor, limiter — has been added also using the same library. I then created a pattern elements responsible for playing the sequence of notes. Such sequence is generated using of the YouTube comments as input and the tonal library to convert number to musical values.
The list of comments is first "translated" from an array of strings (text) into numeric ASCII values (numbers) and then scanned to find the most recurrent number — which happens to be a value between 0 and 127. Such number is converted first to MIDI and then to a note value (C, D, E, F …) through tonal. From here — using sorting tools, plenty of for loops and arrays, and a list of all possible scale modes, I build a system that automatically defines a custom root note and a scale mode for every input (API link). Such scale is eventually played by the pattern element mentioned above so that sound can be heard on the page.
An almost transparent ellipse shows up when the synth is finally loaded and is playing.
Elements of the visuals and the DOM design may not work/display properly at first try nor instantly. We are not all professional coders and our experience in front-end dev is limited — hence many improvements are still to be made. The project has not yet been tested on every current browser and device. The audio does not work when the site is open on Internet Explorer (IE doesn't support the Web Audio API).
The entire javascript code, including sound and visuals, is accessible here: https://github.com/francescoimola/avtest/blob/master/machinemusic.js
and here is the main Github page: https://github.com/francescoimola/avtest

Gramophone Notes
[ORCHESTRAL RaconDs.]
This company has issued a very fine performance of the Rienzi Overture, played by the Berlin State Opera Orchestra and conducted by Edward Moerike. There are some quite remarkable features in the reproduction, notably the bass- --string tone at the outset, the violin embellishments later on the same side, and the clean brass-tone on the reverse side. We rarely hear brass playing of this high order outside the Band Festivals at the Crystal Palace.
The same orchestra, conducted this time by Max von Schillings, has recorded a performance of the Fire-Spell Music from The Valkyries which is better than any I have heard through the medium of the gramophone. The building- up of each climax reveals that the conductor knows the value of implied power. At no moment does he suggest that he has expended his full force, with the result that the music is gathering momentum from first to last ; at the very end, instead of the blur which we are accustomed to hear, each 'Angle detail is clearly audible without the slightest feeling of conscious emphasis. This is an outstanding record.
Here we meet the same orchestra once again, directed by Leo Blech for a performance of the Mignon Overture. The only defect in this double-sided record is the hardness of the string tone in fortissimo passages ; but there are other com- pensations.. The beginning of this overture is a good test of the reproducing powers of the various orchestral families. We hear in turn wood-wind, brass, strings, harp, clarinet and, finally, a horn solo, and in each case the gramophone process has been nimble enough to catch the essential quality.
The Leonora No. 3 Overture has been recorded for this company by Sir Henry Wood and the New Queen's Hall Orchestra. This is the work in which Beethoven's critics professed to find a great development in his powers, comparing it with the first of the Leonora Overtures, which actually was written several months after ! Were not the critics similarly deceived over Mr. Bernard Shaw's early novels ? He is a rash man who would account for the development of any artist who still is alive: The reproduction of this good straightforward performance is especially notable for smoothness of texture. During Part 4, however, the rapid-speaking of the flute has eluded the mechanism, and at the very end the drums sound a note which is a full semitone out. This, I am convinced, is due to no fault in the tuning, but to some acoustical caprice in the Scala Theatre where the records were made.
The Procession Music from the third Act of The Master- singers is admirably played by the Festival Symphony Orchestra under Mr. Adrian Boult's direction. Mr. Boult avoids blatancy and exuberance, and gives us a perform:ince which, without being inflexible, is always dignified.

by Norman Stone (2007). A short military history about the follies of WW-I. Stone's dry and ascerbic style emphasizes the massive blunders by politicians and generals on both sides. What is striking is the stunningly horrific losses of this war. Take the battle of the Somme in north-eastern France in summer and fall of 1916. Initiated by the British and French forces, by the time it ended a staggering 1.5 MILLION casualties had occurred on both sides (yet senior officers in the Britosh High Command portrayed the battle as a success). On the opening day alone, close to 20,000 British soldiers died, the bloddiest death toll in UK history; yet the obstinate army persisted for more than 100 days. The British gained approximately three km of German-held territory during this time and lost about 420,000 soldiers in the process, meaning that one centimeter cost more than one soldier!. Total killed or missing on both sides in this one battle was around 300,000. Germany lost on average 1,200 soldiers – dead – every single day of the four year war! And the end, in 1918, was inconclusive. Fighting would erupt again 21 years later into World War Two, which should really be seen as a continuation of WWI. The sheer stupidity of it all; and everybody enthusiastically contributed, from the lofties academic and intellectuals to the workers. Depressing.

Relaxation music for stress relief by Marcomé
May 7, 2012 by Marcomé
Filed under Well Being & Self Growth
Who doesn't need some meditation to reduce stress! I for one, after a painful surgery, I created Eternal Voices of Love to help me deal with strong body pain. When they say music can heal your soul well it can also make you forget pain! I've tried all sorts of pain killers last year and nothing made it but singing! I was stunned, for the last thing I felt like doing was singing at the time. One day as I was lying on the floor, I started crying and ended up singing for 15 minutes. When I stood up, I happily realized my pain had subsided and it lasted for almost 4 hours! I kept on singing everyday and finally ended up creating all sorts of chants that I'm now putting out… it goes to say that the universe works in mysterious ways! Happy next hour to you, you are precious, be good to yourself! Marcomé
p.s. When you fall is despair, try letting go and do something out of the ordinary, your innate wisdom wants to emerge so let it be!

Annie Lennox, the Greatest White Soul Singer

Filed under New Age Music
Listening to an old Eurythmics album of mine recently brought back a lot of treasured memories of the 80's. Who could forget Annie Lennox's deep and soothing voice in hit songs like "Here Comes the Rain Again", "The Miracle of Love" and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)"?

Few are aware that Eurythmics was Annie Lennox's second band, admittedly way more successful than The Tourists, her first collaboration with Dave Stewart, founded in 1977. Bang at the start of the 80's, the duo formed Eurythmics, a band prominently featuring the synthesizer alongside Lennox's distinctive voice. Read more

Wedding days are more than a single event. They're a reflection of a team the bride and groom unknowingly create as they hire vendors to help bring their vision to life. Having a network of professionals who work well together is an important factor when planning a wedding.
Which is how a Secret Garden Wedding in Historic Roslyn came to be. A group of artists and entrepreneurs from eight separate businesses came together to plan and execute a dream wedding in historic Roslyn, Washington. It all started with a simple conversation and grew from there. Our goal was to work together creatively and learn more about collaborating with one another. We wanted to tell the story of this dream wedding and showcase the skills and services of those involved.
Wedding designer Sarah St. Laurent's vision provided the foundation for the shoot and it turned out impeccably thanks to the talent and dedication from each vendor.

Over 100 years later, the building has since been remodeled and renovated to house modern amenities with indoor and outdoor settings.
StoneHouse101 features a beautiful, welcoming reception area with a mobile bar and a great room that fully opens to a private lighted yard surrounded by lush garden areas. Brides fall in love with wood farm tables, wine barrel cocktail tables, and the seasonal fire pit or fountain.

The mainstream press1 has finally acknowledged that members of congress from both parties have been using their position to glean information2 from congressional committee testimony unavailable to the public at large and have used this privileged information to play the stock market to their financial benefit. Other (non-congressional) citizens who have made use of such insider information have been prosecuted. Congress has specifically exempted themselves and their staff members from these laws.3 If a subpoenaed witness in these committee meetings used such information in the stock market, he would be prosecuted while a congressman or staff member who used the same information in the same time frame for the same purpose would not be so prosecuted.
Given that some supporters of laissez faire capitalism do not think that insider trading is a violation of anyone's rights and thus should not be considered a criminal act should Objectivists embrace Rick Perry's suggestion as enforcing equality under the law or should they reject it as another instance of expanding government power?
1I'm not including any links to news stories as they would likely be transient.
2This is distinct from the problem of government actors creating new law to enhance their financial positions. Historically this has been documented to have occurred, apologists for Congress argue that it no longer does. I think that they are being disingenuous.
3A subsidiary question. Does the argument from the Separation of Powers argument hold water? This was articulated by Norman Ornstein, scholar at American Enterprise Institute, to The Christian Post as follows;
"The reason for the exemption is presumably separation of powers, not wanting executive agencies that Congress oversees to have leverage over members of Congress – along with the idea that members have the check of balance of elections, have to disclose their holdings, and can recuse themselves."

c_andrew ♦
Why should a congressional committee have subpoena power in the first place? Get rid of the subpoenas, and you can get rid of the confidentiality. Get rid of the confidentiality and it's not insider information.
Anyway, the simple solution to the problem of insider trading, which requires no specific laws, is to simply put the assurances about it in the sales contract for the security. One need not have a law specifically against insider trading to recognize that selling something while lying about it on the sales contract, is criminal fraud.
(Nov 27 '11 at 08:51) anthony
Also I take issue with your reference to "the problem of government actors creating new law to enhance their financial positions".
Of course "government actors" are going to create new laws to enhance their financial positions. Proper laws often enhance the financial positions of everyone.
I find it worrying that you would suggest that there's something wrong with a member of Congress who owns stock in a credit card company, voting against a law which would restrict the rights of the owners, directors, and employees of credit card companies.
(Nov 27 '11 at 08:58) anthony
"Punish everyone equally!" is not equality under the law. Equality under the law is the full protection of each individual's rights under the law, and the absolute ban on special privileges and immunities granted to some which would permit them to violate others' rights (i.e. injure others) without fear of justice.
(Nov 27 '11 at 09:52) Justice
Justice, I deliberately phrased the question in the form of a false dichotomy to illustrate the point that many political "fixes" proposed by candidates today offer only false alternatives. Your comment exposes that. Would you care to make a full fledged answer on the basis of your comment?
(Nov 27 '11 at 12:13) c_andrew ♦
Anthony, Are you arguing that, in this case, Pelosi did the right thing in blocking the reform bill as it would have made the situation more unjust than it already is?
Would you be against a new law that enhances a congressman's financial position or that of his supporters at the expense of the rights and property of the citizenry at large? In such case, would such an enhancement - particularly in the form of an indirect payoff - be an ethical breach or a legal one? If a legal breach, should the congressman be punished for his illegal action or left immune to prosecution as is now the case?
(Nov 27 '11 at 12:26) c_andrew ♦
"Are you arguing that, in this case, Pelosi did the right thing in blocking the reform bill as it would have made the situation more unjust than it already is?"
Well, first of all, I'd like to point out that I haven't read the text of the law, only the summary in the link you pointed to. But that summary says the law "would have amended antitrust laws to require credit card companies to enter negotiations with merchants over interchange fees".
Blocking such a law is a good thing. Refusing to block such a law because the law's passage would cause you to lose money, would be horrendous.
(Nov 27 '11 at 21:29) anthony
"Would you be against a new law that enhances a congressman's financial position or that of his supporters at the expense of the rights and property of the citizenry at large?"
I am opposed to any law that violates any of the rights of anyone.
"In such case, would such an enhancement - particularly in the form of an indirect payoff - be an ethical breach or a legal one?"
I don't know. I'm not a lawyer.
(Nov 27 '11 at 21:33) anthony
"If a legal breach, should the congressman be punished for his illegal action or left immune to prosecution as is now the case?"
I'm not sure the details of the question. What exactly is the alleged illegal action?
I don't think you can or should prosecute a member of Congress for the way s/he votes. It's just not feasible, even if desirable. The threat of such prosecutions would be abused for political purposes.
The proper way, short of revolution, to deal with a member of Congress who engages in crony capitalism, is by impeachment or non-reelection. And I'm not recommending revolution.
(Nov 27 '11 at 21:49) anthony
If the corrupt politicians are a small minority, they will be impeached. If they are the majority, as they are today, then we're screwed no matter what.
By all means, throw them all out. Though, even that isn't going to work unless and until we have an electorate which understands the proper role of government.
You can't protect yourself from the tyranny of the majority by passing laws. Certainly not standard run of the mill criminal laws, anyway. Something like the bill of rights can offer some protection for some period of time, though as we see even that has its limits (thanks Roosevelt).
(Nov 27 '11 at 22:00) anthony

In a free economy, all information is private in varying degrees. The idea of a distinction between private and public information is largely a government created fiction. And in a free economy, there are no government restrictions on what one may do in response to information that one possesses, other than to refrain from fraud, unilateral breach of contract, theft, or other forms of direct or indirect physical force. There may still be contractual restrictions on the recipient and/or provider of information, particularly if the parties are concerned about conflicts of interest.
Legislators certainly weaken their own case against trading on private information when they engage in it themselves. Rather than pursue criminal sanctions against them, however, a far better approach would be to do away with "insider trading" laws entirely, and to put an end to the power of Congress to extort information from its victims by subpoena in the first place.
I also see little merit in the claim that Congress has to be exempt from laws against trading on private information to preserve separation of powers. There are already campaign financing laws, which ought to be repealed, to which legislators are subject, and the Congress is also already empowered to police itself through its own overseeing subcommittees if the Congress so chooses. The larger point is the need to reduce rather than expand the powers of our government. Candidates who call for expansion are missing point, as are office holders who practice different principles than they preach.

Stephen's Cellar
After more than thirty-three years of growing grapes and making wine, I have taken on a new venture. In August of 2002 Lori Stone and I were married and later that year we started construction on Stephen's Cellar. On May 3, 2003 we celebrated the birth of our son Max Richard Goldman. Lori resigned from her seven-year position as Grower Programs Manager with the Paso Robles Vintners and Growers Association to be a full time mom to Max as well as an integral part of all wine and vineyard operations at Stephen's Cellar. A new vineyard was planted spring 2002, devoted entirely to Pinot Noir. It is situated on a northerly slope 1,500 above the Pacific in the York Mountain Viticultural Area. My father Max and I created the American Viticultural Area in 1983 to signify the uniqueness of this beautiful place. With its cool maritime (7 miles from the ocean) influence and sandstone soil, the vineyard is in an ideal location. Vineyard cultural practices are based on organic and biodynamic principles.
Until the new vines are producing, wines will be made, as previously from neighboring vineyards that have proven to be exceptional. They include the 20-year-old Carver, 18-year-old William Cain, 20+-year-old Laughney, 20+-year-old MacBride, and new vineyards grown by Stromsoe's, Anderson's, Encell's and Moore's. Though Pinot Noir is the focus, a Bordeaux variety blend, Chardonnay, Rosé, Pinot Grigio and Dry Sherry will be made in limited amounts. Altogether, about 1,500 cases will be produced annually. The new cellar was 90% complete for the 2004 harvest. As of January 2005, we are close to completion. The cellar work is minimal as far as wine and grape movement goes. Gravity and inert gas racking with little or no fining and filtering is the course of action. The philosophy is every action the grapes or wine is subjected to diminishes the integrity. So, let it be.
I introduced the Stephen's label with the 1994 vintage and have retained a small library inventory of '95, '96, '97, '99, '00 Pinot Noirs for sale. For current releases, please refer to "current releases" at stephenscellar.com. The Pinot Noirs were all York Mountain AVA blends that have garnered several awards, with many gold medals, at major national and international competitions. Stephen's Wine Club has been formed for those who like to dabble in such things, and visits to the new cellar are welcome by appointment.
Check back soon for more information.
May you live and drink well.

Civic Square By Bosa Will Now Be a 57 Story Skyscraper
October 25, 2017
Bosa Development's Civic Square condominium tower will now be a 57 story skyscraper. Previously reported to be only 43 stories, this is a big change in the number of units that will be built in this new Downtown condo project.
According to the PSBJ, this new condo tower on the block between Cherry and James streets and 3rd and 4th avenues, will house 520 residential units and 640 stalls of underground parking as well as boast, as required by the city, a public plaza area. The PSBJ article also mentions that there will be retail and coffee shops on the 3rd Ave side, a fountain and a curved facade facing 4th Ave.
The project is just entering the approval process with the City so we are a ways off from the ground breaking, most likely starting in late 2018 or 2019.
We look forward to seeing another Bosa condominium project in the city.

This Is The Coolest DIY Project On The Planet, And It's Incredibly Simple To Create
We always thought graffiti was just someone with spray paint creating cool designs in public areas. However, there's something even more cooler and it's called Moss Graffiti. You will need:
- 3 cups of moss (washed clean of soil)
- 2 cups buttermilk OR 2 cups of yogurt (should be plain yogurt)
- 2 cups of water or beer
- 1/2 tsp of sugar
- An old blender
Gather as much moss as you can find
Rinse it as best you can to get rid of any soil.
Break up the moss and drop them into a blender
At this point add all of your ingredients and blend until you have a paint like consistency.
Pour into a bucket
Grab a paintbrush
Start painting your design, you will need to check on this regularly to make sure it stays moist. Keep a spray bottle handy.
This is what happens…

How you get to the Mongkok Ladies Market of course depends
on where you are coming from, having just been shopping or from
your hotel perhaps. Being in the city centre it is well
provided with different means of transport. Anywhere close
by and walking is probably the best but if you are coming from
more distance than walking permits, or if you just don't like
walking then there are plenty of ways of using public transport
to get to the market.
Here are some common routes:

When you come out at ground level you need to walk
forward half a block then you are in the middle of Ladies

I really enjoy the website ted.com and the various "Ted Talks" that are available. TED is a fantastic collection of speakers and presentations that cover a wide variety of topics. One of my favorite videos from recent months comes from neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki.
Suzuki is a Professor of Neural Science and Psychology at New York University. Her major research focuses on brain plasticity and the ability to form and retain memories. In recent years, she has focused on the many benefits of aerobic exercise on the brain. Her TED talk is appropriately entitled 'The Brain Changing Benefits of Exercise." (link at the end of the article)
I was particularly interested by this lecture, since I have found exercise absolutely essential to my well-being. Like Dr. Suzuki discusses in her lecture, the mental benefits are as powerful as the physical ones. Many of us who have been regular participants in physical activity can attest to that feeling.
Fitness Benefits To Our Body and Mind
Exercise is wonderful in that it provides both short-term and long-term benefits to our body. Dr. Suzuki mentions that fact right in her introduction. She begins by saying "What if I told you there was something that you can do right now that would have an immediate, positive benefit for your brain including your mood and your focus? And what if I told you that same thing could actually last a long time and protect your brain from different conditions like depression, Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Would you do it? Yes!"
Anyone who works in the fitness industry can relate to those comments. Science is discovering more and more ways that exercise benefits all of us. The other thing I like about Dr. Suzuki's lecture is she talks about her own self-discovery in this area. She had reached a point where she was overweight and out of shape. When she decided to make meaningful changes, she noticed the amazing effect the exercise had on her body and mind.
Taking Control of Your Money
I thought about this lecture and how it relates to financial matters. As a financial planner, the goal is always to help people make a positive transformation. It means taking real-world problems that people face and providing solutions. I have discovered through my studies and my work that planning provides emotional benefits just as much as it does financial ones.
I discuss it regularly, but emotion fuels our attitude and relationship with money. For the vast majority of people, it goes far beyond a simple transaction. Our attitudes toward money have been shaped and formed since we were young. Therefore, much of the financial planning process involves a close examination on how we view money matters.
Emotion and Financial Decisions
We are faced with these emotional decisions every day. Let's use some everyday examples. You know that the budget is tight this month, but you just cannot resist that daily latte from your favorite coffee shop. The facts tell you that you are better off drinking the mud at the office, but emotion tells you that you deserve a treat.
It's time to replace the old car you have been driving. The numbers tell you that you are much better off getting a modest vehicle, but powerful emotions are drawing you toward the luxury sedan. If you quit saving for retirement for a few months, you can even afford the most expensive car. Which one will win out in the end – the numbers or the emotion?
Emotion ends up being the reason most of us have slip-ups and misbehave with money. That doesn't mean we want to eliminate emotion from our personal financial management. First off, that is impossible. We are emotional beings. Second, emotion fuels our attitude and our dreams. Those are powerful tools in helping all of us imagine the life we want to life. Finally, if we life our lives simply based on the numbers and try to ignore our emotions, it can lead to a great deal of regret.
Finding a Balance
Ultimately, it is all about finding a balance. Exercise and physical activity involves the same type of balancing act. If we do too little, we do not get the benefit we are looking for. If we do too much, we end up mentally and physically exhausted, thus defeating the beneficial aspects. We want to manage our money in a way that provides emotional benefits, yet protects our financial well-being and our bottom line.
Even if we've been relatively successful managing money, there are positive changes that can be made. All of us have personal blind spots when it comes to our personal finances. Some people struggle with building accountability and tracking spending habits. Perhaps you need to reframe your view toward risk and investing. Many of us have behaviors and beliefs that need to be challenged.
I have found that once people decide to change their relationship with money, it brings emotional benefits. It is very stressful on people when they struggle with money matters. Many people tend to worry about present and future financial issues. It is hard for people to imagine future financial independence while struggling to make ends meet in the present.
Invest In Your Well-Being
Just like exercise, I feel that good financial planning is an investment in your own well-being. Good planning involves setting clear financial goals that address the present and the future. It provides an avenue of self-examination and building awareness on old habits you want to change. Taking control over your money ultimately helps you get a clear vision on what you want out of your life.
I have seen the powerful effect of transformation and its effect on people. I have worked with individuals who have made amazing changes in their attitude toward physical and financial fitness. Whether it was losing a significant amount of weight or eliminating thousands of dollars of debt, they discovered abilities they never knew they had. The emotional benefits they experienced are hard to quantify.
Master or Servant?
Science has proven that exercise contributes to our well-being. I can attest to the wonderful benefits physical fitness has provided to me. Taking an active interest in our physical health and building good training routines is one of the best investments we can make in ourselves.
Your money works the same way! Take an active interest in managing your money and clarifying your financial goals. I help people do this every day and it is powerful to see people change their relationship with money. I always like using the master and servant analogy. Money is a great servant and a very cruel master. My goal is to help people maintain their status as the master. When you maintain control in the relationship, it is a very satisfying feeling.

Valentine's Day is approaching and you are freaking out because you don't have a date? Guess what, we don't need a date to celebrate this time! The day is all about love and love cannot be restricted by some narrow definitions. Love is not in another person, it is your very nature. It is what your soul is made of. Take this Valentine's Day as an opportunity to nurture yourself and bring out your own better half! Here are a few things you can do to make the day memorable.
Get a makeover
"Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of changing themselves". Change may sound scary in the beginning but you know what, nothing great was ever achieved without visualizing the change. The easiest thing you can change is yourself. We are not even talking about habits here, I am sure all of us have tried and failed multiple times with that! Let us try a different approach this time – go for a makeover. Get a funky haircut or experiment with hair colour. You will feel enthusiastic and happy. This will trigger positivity within you and then we can move on to changing those obstinate habits. If you really want a change but are tight on budget, Glam Studios is the place for you! Hurry to your nearest Glam Studios and get your dream haircut at amazing prices!
Shop till you drop!
How can we miss out on this basic necessity? Go alone or with your girl gang, go street shopping or go for the amazing deals at huge brands, but GO! This Valentine's, dress up not for anybody but yourself. It is important to feel good about yourself. It boosts confidence and uplifts your spirit. Buy whatever you like without having to worry about anybody's 'valuable' opinion.
Visit an…. amusement park!
I know this sounds a little different, but don't you feel that is what life is all about, being different? I am sure you don't even remember the last time you visited an amusement park (honestly speaking, I don't!). Take this Valentine's as an opportunity to do something different from the crowd and share your experiences.
Pamper yourself
Use the day to relax (that is what we need and crave the most anyway!). Complement the day with a spa or facial to rejuvenate both from the outside and within. Visit any Glam Studios to avail exciting offers for the same.
Hot Hot chocolate!
Who does not love chocolate? Celebrate this Valentine's snuggled in your blanket sipping a BIG mug of hot chocolate while watching your favourite movie.
Be a proud bibliophile
Valentine's is all about love and when it comes to love, how can we forget books! Take the day as an opportunity to explore the book markets of Delhi and gift yourself a whole new set of books. If you prefer to snuggle in bed instead of going out, then finish that old book that has been sitting on your shelf for months now, waiting for you to find time for it.
Find your schoolmate!
How long has it been since you haven't met your school bestie? For all the kids who have grown up watching Shah Rukh Khan movies, I am sure 'Pyaar Dosti Hai'. Meet up with old friends and enjoy the ride down memory lane. If you love partying, then go out with your friends and party! You don't even need to worry about looking your best. Visit any Glam Studios and avail exciting offers on group makeup. Friends who dress up together stay together!
Go on a date with yourself
I recently discovered this technique of self-improvement. If you want your life back on track, sit down and introspect. Write down your strengths and how you can make the best use of these to achieve your goals. This Valentine's, gift yourself a focused and balanced life.
Learn to Bake
I am sure everybody wants to learn to bake but haven't found the time yet. Now is the best time! Bake and eat it yourself. Trust me these are the benefits of being single, you don't have to share the cake with anyone!
This Valentine's day, just celebrate. Without worrying about your date or your friend's date or about any random thing, just breathe deeply and celebrate!

A new trend is taking root in the region this spring as more and more schools start their own vegetable gardens.
A new trend is taking root in the region this spring as more and more schools start their own vegetable gardens.
The practice, popular on the West Coast, has been slow to spread to the comparatively chillier New England, where most of the growing season occurs after the school year ends, school leaders said.
But heavy focus on environmental awareness and healthy eating at local schools has now led many to consider gardening as a way to have lessons on both.
"We're already trying to teach the kids about using resources wisely," said Susan McGilvray-Rivet, principal at Framingham's Barbieri Elementary School, where a recent emphasis on recycling and composting led to an effort to start a vegetable garden. "This is a natural outgrowth of that."
Spearheaded by fourth-grade teacher Katherine Shander-Reynolds, the project is expected to get under way in two weeks, when volunteers plan to start building raised beds on some unused tennis courts on school property. Students will eventually help grow vegetables that McGilvray-Rivet said she hopes could be served in the cafeteria.
In Ashland, officials are planning to start an herb garden at the middle school.
"We're really trying to bring education into the cafeteria, to make that link of where (students') food comes from," said Lisa Beaudin, the district's director of food and nutrition services.
After doing soil tests last month, Beaudin said she hopes to have students transplant seedlings, which have been growing at a greenhouse at the high school, before the end of the school year.
"Obviously, we're starting out small - it's a little late in the year. But we plan to do more next year," said Beaudin, who said the herbs will be used in school meals. "We do a lot of scratch cooking."
Brendan Ryan, food service director in Framingham, had the same idea for his new garden at the high school, a massive plot in the central courtyard where staff and students have planted some 300 tomato plants this spring. Ryan intends to use the crops in the cafeteria's pasta sauce next school year.
"The goal is to produce about 1,400 gallons," he said.
The project is more about teaching students the value of growing their own food, though - a lesson that can be tied to the overall "greening of America," Ryan said.
Other educators gave similar ideas of linking school gardens to broader educational concepts.
"We want it to be integrated with everything," said Debbie Bearse, principal at Claypit Hill School in Wayland, which has been gradually expanding its garden over the past two years. "Some kids have written papers about it. They take it back to the classroom."
Later this fall, Claypit Hill's garden will become part of a pilot program for on-site composting, Bearse said.
John Mendes, principal at Westborough's Armstrong Elementary School, which started a vegetable garden this spring, said the lessons can even extend to core subjects.
"Science, math, language arts - there are so many things you can do," he said.
Several educators said they plan to use the gardens in their school's regular curriculum.
The school garden trend first emerged in California four or five years ago, said Ellen Parker, executive director of Boston-based anti-hunger organization Project Bread.
"They've been a little slower to catch on here," she said. "But you're starting to see little examples of local agriculture."
Parker said Project Bread is considering starting a funding initiative for school gardens. The success of such projects depends on the enthusiasm of those who start the projects, she said.
"It's been my experience with new things that it really takes leadership more than money," she said. "I think it's the same thing with school gardens - it's got to start with some passion among the adults and students."
Ryan said the Framingham High garden has actually cost more than it would have taken to simply buy the produce. But that's not really the point, he said.
"It was really not a savings issue," he said. "There are some things we do in life that aren't financially based."
With summer approaching, schools must still figure out a way to maintain their investments when students and staff aren't around.
Claypit Hill's garden will be tended by student volunteers in the Wayland schools' Pegasus summer program. Ryan is taking a similar approach in Framingham and has even hired a graduating senior, Mike Hipson, to manage the crews that will work on the garden over the next few months.
While many are planning for a harvest later this summer, some officials said gardening is ultimately an exercise in patience. Most said they are starting out small, with an eye on long-term sustainability.
"It's going to take some time," said Mendes, who said Armstrong's garden is "just in its infancy stage."
"The focus now is to see if we can just get a plant to come out of the ground," Ryan said. "You need a starting point, and you move on from there."

The plant is the birthplace of the Korean automobile industry and is a self-contained facility that operates its own fire station, hospital and security vehicles. The plant is also equipped with cutting-edge facilities to protect the environment, such as a waste water and sewage treatment plant securing Hyundai Motor's position as a green-minded company.
The Asan Plant, which mainly produces passenger vehicles for export, rests on 440 acres with a 4 million sq. ft. building that consists of production lines for machine press, auto frames, paint, assembly, engine and a materials plant. It is an entirely self-contained, independent automobile production complex that is capable of producing 300,000 mid- to large-size passenger vehicles annually.
The Jeonju Plant occupies a total of 317 acres of land and has 4.3 million sq. ft. in production space. It specializes in producing mid- to large-sized buses of 2.5 tons or more, trucks, and specialty vehicles. The Jeonju plant is capable of producing 125,000 units per year and in terms of the plant's scale, it is deemed to be the world's largest commercial vehicle production plant.
Overseas Production
In May 2005, Hyundai Motor opened a $1.1 billion plant in Alabama, the company's first North American manufacturing facility, which is also its most technologically advanced. Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA), which has a maximum capacity of 300,000 vehicles per year, began operations with the production of the 2006 Sonata sedan. The plant started producing the 2007 Santa Fe sport utility vehicle in the spring of 2006.
Within one year, HMMA reached 10th place in the product quality category among 37 plants in North America. In 2008, HMMA was chosen as the most productive plant in North America in the Midsize CUV category, for its Santa Fe model. HMMA took 22.6 hours to complete a Santa Fe, one of Hyundai's best-selling SUVs.
HMMA brings Hyundai Motor's commitment to the North American market full circle. Since 2001, Hyundai Motor has invested more than $200 million in design and testing facilities throughout the U.S. With a $30 million design center in Irvine, Calif., a $60 million proving ground in the Mojave Desert in California, and a $117 million technical center in Ann Arbor, Mich., Hyundai Motor is able to bring vehicles to life from design, to testing and now to production, in the United States.
Hyundai Motor India (HMI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai Motor, is the second-largest carmaker in India. Hyundai opened its second plant in India in February 2008, a decade after it began operations in the country. The US$1 billion new plant, which was completed in a record 13 months, doubles Hyundai Motor's capacity in India to 600,000 units a year. The new plant is located within the same 525 acre plot in Sriperumbudur, in the state of Tamil Nadu, adjacent to the first plant.
The new plant is dedicated largely to the production of Hyundai Motor's latest offerings in India — the i20 and the i10, winner of the most prestigious 'Car of the Year' awards from the leading automotive magazines and TV channels like Business Standard Motoring, CNBC-TV18, NDTV Car & Bike and Overdrive magazine.
Building the i10 (A-segment) and i20 (B-segment) cars for world markets, the Indian subsidiary is Hyundai's de facto global hub for small car production. In 2009, HMI's sales jumped 14.4 percent to 559,880 units from 2008. The subsidiary currently exports to 113 countries worldwide.
In 2009, Hyundai opened a US$25 million R&D center in HITECH City in Hyderabad, India. The new facility will enable Hyundai to respond even more quickly to changing customer needs across the world and will serve as an important platform for the development of compact cars.
In February 2008, Beijing Hyundai Motor Company (BHMC) set a record by surpassing one million units in cumulative production in just five years and two months, the shortest period among automobile companies in China.
Hyundai Motor opened its second manufacturing plant in Beijing in April 2008, two years after it began construction for the US$ 790 million facility. The plant, a 50-50 partnership with Beijing Automotive Holdings, doubled Beijing Hyundai's production capacity to 600,000 units.
Beijing Hyundai began operations in China by producing Sonata in December 2002 and in 2003, its first full year of sales reached 52,129 units, making Beijing Hyundai China's thirteenth largest automaker. Sales soared to 144,088 units in 2004 and by 2005, sales had catapulted to 233,668 units making Beijing Hyundai China's fourth best selling brand. In 2009, Beijing Hyundai's sales rose 93.6 percent to 570,000 units from 294,000 units in 2008.
Beijing Hyundai currently builds seven models: EF Sonata, Ling Xiang (NF Sonata), Elantra, Yuedong (China-exclusive Elantra model), i30, Tucson and Accent.
Hyundai Motor began operations at its Turkey plant, located in north western Turkey, from July 1997. The plant, Hyundai Assan Otomotive Sanayi Ve Ticaret (HAOS), was expanded in 2006 and produces the Accent and Matrix vehicles. Starting from May 2010, the plant will also add production of Hyundai's latest offering, the i20.
The facilities' maximum capacity is 100,000 units per year. In 2008, the plant sold 79,954 units, of which it exported 21 percent.
Hyundai Motor began construction of its 1.1 billion euro manufacturing plant in Nosovice, Czech Republic in April 2007, and began production in November 2008. Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech (HMMC), a fully-owned subsidiary of Seoul-based Hyundai Motor, will have the capacity to build 200,000 vehicles annually beginning with the i30 C-class five-door hatchback and later, a station wagon version, called Hyundai i30cw. In the second phase, an additional 100,000 units per annum of capacity will be added by 2011 to build a third model.
As part of its preparations to better serve the needs of its European customers, Hyundai Motor invested $50 million Euros in a European Design and Technical Center in Russelsheim, Germany which designed the i30 hatchback and estate wagon. In 2007, it opened a new European sales and marketing headquarters in Offenbach, Germany to better support local sales. The Czech plant is the final link in the chain providing Hyundai Motor will the full range of local capabilities to serve the European market from design and engineering, to production, marketing, sales and after-service.
Hyundai Motor in June 2008 began construction of its plant in St. Petersburg to establish a local production and sales base in Russia, which will be a stepping stone to expansion in the CIS and Eastern Europe.
Hyundai Motor plans to invest a total of 330 million euros in the plant, which is scheduled to begin production in January 2011. According to initial plans, production is expected to reach maximum capacity of 150,000 units a year by the end of that year. For the first year of 2011, Hyundai Motor plans to make new, small- to mid-size models strategically targeting the local market. Other models will be added according to local market conditions. The plant, which will include storage facilities and a shipping area, will be built on an area of about 2 million square meters. The actual area of the buildings and facilities will take up about 83,000 square meters.
Future cars
Hyundai unveiled its first Plug-in HEV concept car at the 2009 Seoul Motor Show. Named Blue-Will by its creators at the Advanced Design Studio, the futuristic car targets 30 to 40 something single urbanites and young families with its highly unique character lines and detailed forms.
Promising an electric-only driving distance of up to 64km on a single charge and a fuel economy rating of up to 2.2 liters/100 km (106mpg), Blue-Will is a test bed of new ideas that range from the unique profile to drive-by-wire steering and touch screen controls.
Blue-Will, codenamed HND-4, is the fourth in a series of highly innovative concept vehicles to come out of the Namyang Design Center currently headed by Oh Suk-Geun, Executive Vice President of Design.
The Blue-Will concept is powered by an all-aluminum 152hp Gasoline Direct Injected 1.6L which is coupled to a Continuously Variable Transmission and a 100kw electric motor which is at the heart of Hyundai's proprietary parallel hybrid drive architecture. Wheels are turned by power coming directly from the gasoline engine, or the electric motor, or both together, as conditions demand. This parallel hybrid drive architecture serves as the foundation for future Hyundai hybrids, starting with the YF Sonata in the U.S.
Energy from hot exhaust gases is recaptured by a thermal generator which is fitted into the exhaust manifold. The thermal generator then converts the heat into electrical energy to help power auxiliary systems.
Efficiencies are further improved by the specification of low-rolling resistance tires and low-drag brakes where special attention has been paid to the engineering of the brake pads and calipers.
2.4 Theta() II GDI Engine (2009)
To help meet its goals of environmental leadership, Hyundai Motor developed its first Gasoline Direct Injection engine, 2.4 Theta II GDI engine. With a compression ration of 11.3:1, this gasoline engine delivers 201ps@6300rpm and 25.5kg.m@4250rpm in its Korean domestic market specification.
Representing the biggest advance in fuel injection, an '80s technology that replaced the carburetor, GDI puts Hyundai at the cutting edge of engine design and management by achieving three seemly incompatible goals: GDI lowers emissions while raising power output and improving fuel economy. Prior to GDI, a gain in one area came at the expense of the other two.
Developed with a budget of 170 billion won over a 46 month-long research period, the new 2.4 Theta II GDI engine made its debut in January 2010 starting with the recently launched Sonata, beating the mid-size sedan competition to market with this exciting new technology. GDI application will subsequently be expanded across the gasoline engine family and applied to other Hyundai and Kia models.
One serious limitation of conventional fuel injection is that as engine revolutions increase, the valve opening and closing times get progressively shorter, thus reducing the time available to inject fuel. GDI avoids this problem altogether by positioning the fuel injector in the most optimal location, directly inside the combustion chamber to offer unparalleled precision. With this shorter and more direct path, far greater control is attained over the combustion process: A high pressure fuel pump injects the fuel at pressures of up to 150 bar, in precise amounts and intervals.
R Diesel Engine (2008)
The R is the newest member of Hyundai's passenger diesel family joining the U (1.1, 1.4 and 1.6–liter), the A (2.5–liter) and S (3.0–liter V6). In its initial 2-liter edition, R generates 184ps and 40kg.m of torque.
The R–Engine benefits from the third generation common rail system developed by Bosch whose piezo-electric injectors deliver fuel at 1,800 bar providing an unprecedented degree of accuracy and control.
It also features an electronically-controlled variable geometry turbocharger and an advanced engine control unit (air system-based charge control).
The R–Engine is fitted with a 16-valve dual overhead camshaft which is driven by an internal steel silent timing chain. For reduced vibration and lower booming noise, the R gets a lower balance shaft which has been encased in a stiffened ladder frame housing for increased rigidity. Weight-saving features include serpentine belt with isolation pulley, a plastic head cover, plastic intake manifold and plastic oil filter housing.
Developed by a 150-man team at an investment cost of 250 billion won, the R–Engine harnesses Hyundai´s newest and most advanced development tools. Computational flow dynamics and structural and thermal analysis were used to optimize its design while computerized simulation of the die casting process was employed to achieve the optimal balance of strength and low weight.
Over 500 prototype engines were built during the 42 month–long development period which encompassed a wide variety of performance and emissions tests, endurance as well as NVH, cooling and lubrication studies. Finally, the engine was installed in vehicles and subjected to exhaustive testing under all imaginable environmental conditions.
To achieve Euro-5 emission compliance, the R is fitted with a close-coupled diesel particulate filter plus highly efficient exhaust gas recirculation with by-pass valve.
Tau(τ) Engine (2008)
Hyundai's 4.6-liter Tau V-8 engine, which debuted in the premium Genesis sedan in 2008, was named one of "Ward's 10 Best Engines" for two consecutive years, in 2009 and again for 2010 by Ward's Auto World. Year 2009 was the first time that a Hyundai engine appeared on the prestigious "Ward's 10 Best Engines" list, while this year marks the first time only one V8 made the grade.
"Tau" is the latest in the series of engines to be independently developed by Hyundai Motor and takes its name from the Greek letter Tau (τ). Hyundai Motor wanted luxury car performance to be within the reach of the many, not just the few. From this point of view, the Genesis was created to establish a new paradigm for value in the premium car market. After four years of intensive effort, the dream has become a reality with the Tau engine. Tau has a maximum output of 375 horsepower and 333 pound-feet of torque using premium fuel. The 375 horsepower corresponds to 81 horsepower per liter, which is the highest among competitors in its class.
U2 Diesel Engine (2008)
The U2 is Hyundai's cleanest, quietest and most fuel efficient diesel engine for compact passenger vehicles. Displacing 1,582cc, the U2 utilizes a second generation common rail diesel injection system to deliver class-leading performance. Total power output measures an impressive 95kW@4000rpm. Torque is rated 260Nm@1900~2750rpm--best in its class, and more than 90 percent of the maximum torque is achieved at 1500rpm. A variable geometry turbocharger, variable swirl control system and an electronically controlled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooling system help endows the U2 with outstanding fuel economy (4.7l/100km) and low emissions (125g CO2 /km). Moreover, the U2 is fully compliant with the latest Euro4 emission standards. The optional particulate filter reduces particulate matter to Euro 5 standards which take effect next year. The U2 is also the quietest engine in its class, measuring up to two dBA lower than leading competitors.
S-Engine (2006)
The S-Engine, the world's highest quality V6 diesel engine, was developed solely by Hyundai Motor. It achieves a powerful performance, generating 240 horsepower, while boasting the most economical fuel efficiency available today. It not only offers fast response time, but also overcomes limitations of existing diesel engines. Its power output is equivalent to gasoline engines and it also meets the Euro 4 Environmental Regulation standards, proving to be an advanced diesel engine with top quality performance, fuel efficiency, and environmental friendliness. The S-Engine is currently available in the Veracruz, Hyundai's luxury SUV.
Hyundai Blue Drive
To address the global warming problem, Hyundai Motor in November 2008 announced "Hyundai Blue Drive," an eco-initiative which will bring to market a range of eco-friendly products and technologies designed to reduce CO2 emissions, improve fuel efficiency and achieve a fleet average of 35 miles per gallon by 2015, ahead of government requirements in the U.S., Hyundai's biggest overseas market.
In 2009, Hyundai introduced high mileage "Blue" editions of its Accent and Elantra models. These models will deliver outstanding fuel economy without adding thousands of dollars to the price. In fact, "Blue" models will be priced lower than other models, assuring they will be both efficient and economical.
Hyundai is focused on achieving an excellent MPG-per-dollar ratio with these models. Fuel-efficient modifications include low-rolling-resistance tires, enhanced aerodynamics, revised engine calibrations, fuel-efficient steering systems and reduced final drive ratios to deliver even higher mileage and lower emissions than today's models. These new high mileage editions will be identified with unique "Blue" badging.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Hyundai Motor introduced its first hybrid electric vehicle in the Korean market in July 2009: A compact-sized LPG model, the Elantra LPI (Liquefied Petroleum Injection) hybrid, a car that uses both Liquefied Petroleum Gas and electricity. This is the world's first hybrid vehicle fueled by liquefied petroleum, and is also the world's first car to use lithium-ion polymer rechargeable batteries. In 2010, Hyundai Motor plans to introduce mid-sized gasoline hybrid based on the forthcoming all-new Sonata platform.
Hyundai has been working on hybrid electric vehicle technology since 1994 and has provided Getz and Accent hybrid vehicles to Korean government agencies in pilot testing programs.
The mass production of hybrid cars starting in 2009 is a major turning point for Hyundai, which will increase its competitiveness in the environmentally-friendly car sector, an area automakers worldwide are counting on for their strategic survival in the next-generation business sector.
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle
Hyundai's Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle program is gaining momentum with plans to expand the demonstration fleet into the hundreds and start limited series production by 2012.
Sports Marketing
Football is a key marketing tool Hyundai employs to build awareness around the world. The company's association with the World Cup has proven very helpful in raising brand awareness and attracting new visitors to Hyundai showrooms worldwide.
Hyundai is one of the strongest supporters of football in the world having served as the official sponsor of the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea / Japan™ and the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ as well as many other FIFA tournaments. The company has extended its strategic sponsorship agreement with FIFA to cover the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
